Professional Experience

New fresh voice in the freelance travel and features world. Previous focus on regional travel in the American South as staff editor/writer, now adding US and global destinations to a variety of publications. Adventure and culinary tourism are my main interests, but I've written extensively about new resorts, shopping, music events, personalities, and out-of-the way treasures.
