Professional Experience

I've been working full-time in the magazine industry, in writing and editing roles, for more than a year. I have written articles for Newsweek, Beach and Manhattan magazines and Yahoo. I have experience writing about breaking news and entertainment, both online and in print. I've put together several special edition magazines for Newsweek, which focus solely on one topic. I've also written for children's book projects for Disney.
