Professional/Personal Overview
I'm a seasoned writer and editor, broadcaster/host, and all-around cross-platform content genie with expertise in (but certainly not limited to) the health/wellness industry. I can create and develop engaging, relevant content and present it in a compelling way--on page, online, and in person. A former staffer, I'm now gleefully self-employed, writing essays and articles, blogging, and helping grow lifestyle brands. See more at trespicio.com (for samples, etc).
