Professional Experience

I create great copy: Whether it's travel, healthcare, sports, real estate, home and garden, gaming or personal profiles, I deliver. I don't miss deadlines: Editors have turned to me needing projects back in fewer than 4 hours. Give me a deadline, and I'll beat it. I've got an editor's eye and a reporter's ear: I'll work with you to craft the best possible narrative for your publication. Let's talk.

I was the editor of New Homes Arizona for four years. A monthly -- sometimes weekly -- section covering the home building industry in the Phoenix area, I was responsible for all editorial content.
Sample pages from one issue of At Home Week, a broadsheet decorating/interior design series I spearheaded at the Arizona Republic. I managed all editorial content and photography.
Example of healthcare writing for a medical client.
