Professional Experience
I've single-handedly launched custom-publishing magazines from the ground up for five star hotels and luxury products, from writing, editing and creative direction to overseeing production. Expertise in luxury writing. Also health and business profiles. I am a deadline driven, results-producing editor/writer who learned to write in newspaper and television breaking news, so stories are done quickly and accurately.
