Professional Experience
An award-winning freelance writer, I specialize in health, fitness, environmental and business writing. My work has been featured in numerous magazines and websites including Runner's World, Bicycling, Audubon, Hemispheres, Cincinnati, Discover.com and Fox New Latino.
I understand the art of gathering accurate information quickly and responsibly. My work comes in clean, on time and withstands the scrutiny of fact checkers. I am always willing to uncover that extra anecdote or specific detail that will make a story both useful and a great read. And I am flexible with my words, willing to rewrite my copy as needed to provide clients with the best possible content.
