Professional Experience

I am an Arizona-based writer and editor with 20-plus years of experience. I’ve written or edited materials on countless subjects: cloud computing, dog walking, K-12 education, wildlife management, wireless technology, healthcare reform, and quilting, to name just a few. My current focus is mostly copywriting, but I also have extensive journalism experience, including a four-year stint with the Associated Press.
