Professional Experience
As a full-time editor, copy editor and staff/contributing writer for more than 10 years, I have developed sound news judgment and a high degree of comfort with a range of research tools and publishing applications. I am deadline-driven and committed to a high level of accuracy. My published freelance work ranges in topic from travel, food, fashion, design and entertainment to national and international politics and business technology.
