Professional Experience
Award-winning freelance writer with 14 years experience writing feature articles, books and corporate content. My diverse writing expertise includes articles on horseracing and human gut bacteria as well as home style and personality profiles. My feature specialties are profiles, lifestyle, interior design/architecture and business. I write content for companies and nonprofits -- annual reports, newsletters, web copy, brochures, books -- and have experience working as a PR and media consultant. I've appeared as a guest commentator and expert on radio, television and in documentary films.
