Professional/Personal Overview
After more than a decade of journalism, marketing and public relations experience, my award-winning work has appeared in more than 20 regional and national custom and newsstand publications. Whether writing a personality profile on a popular speaker for the National Speakers Association, a travel story about Jamaica for Phoenix Magazine or a patient success story to help market a regional hospital, the ever-pressing need to tell a good story always comes first.
