Professional Experience
Whatever your editorial needs, I'm here for you! Feature articles, ghostwriting, online content, social media, content editing. My breadth of experience includes corporate, not-for-profit and government clients in a wide range of industries: entertainment, environmental, personal technology, food, chemical, pharmaceuticals, and health care.
I've written a book on a hit TV series and chapters in a book on spirituality and pregnancy. I've covered environmental policy from the corporate, government and concerned citizen angles, and have written books and numerous articles on environmental, health and safety management and the food processing industry.
I'm a polished interviewer and have published interviews with Hollywood stars and behind the scenes players, including executives, producers and writers. Serving as the co-executive editor of Blogcritics Magazine (Technorati Media), I not only write, but manage a large staff of editors and writers for a large, popular Internet site.
