Professional/Personal Overview
I specialize in “translating” research and expert guidance into clear, concise tips and advice for real people. I’ve written news, health, and parenting articles and columns for Redbook, Reader’s Digest, Ladies Home Journal, Youth Today, and others. I’ve also written or edited books, white papers, issue briefs, policy statements, training manuals/curricula, and practice standards for major national nonprofits including the American Bar Association, the Safe Start Center, and the Coalition for Juvenile Justice. I can research and write about virtually any subject but most frequently cover child, adolescent and women's health, parenting, fatherhood, child welfare, juvenile justice/delinquency, foster care and adoption, mental health/psychology, teen and women’s issues, law and policy, and nonprofits and philanthropy.
