Professional/Personal Overview
From under-the-radar bands to over-the-top family entertainment, hip dining to free events they are all among the pop culture topics that I write about. I have written about music and books for outlets like the L.A. Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Entertainment Weekly and the LA Weekly. As LA Parent Magazine calendar editor, I write the monthly event listings, CD and DVD reviews and spotlight pieces; I am also NAPPA judge for childrens music. I was a regular contributor to Citys Best Los Angeles, doing a weekly musician Q&A and a column on free events, as well as articles on other L.A.-based happenings. My writing experience also includes penning press bios, catalog content and liner notes. Additionally, I worked in the film industry for many years, which has provided me with a good understanding of the show business world.
