Professional Experience
I'm a journalist, editor, and proofreader with an MBA, a master's degree in journalism, and actual financial experience. I have solid, hands-on knowledge of markets and instruments, personal finance, taxes, business plans, insurance, and credit; experience with SEC filings; and intense financial modeling experience. I've edited business books, magazines, and scholarly journal articles; my work has also appeared in major national, trade, and consumer publications. I've interviewed several celebrities about money. I have experience as a managing editor. I'm reliable, professional, and focused; I meet deadlines, am a painstaking perfectionist, and am very organized.
