Professional Experience
I'm a veteran editor and writer for magazines, newspapers, online and broadcast, specializing in business, education, healthcare and arts/culture/lifestyle. I've also produced video segments on the arts for a national cable show.
As a college professor for the past 10 years, I've taught adults and undergrads alike how to write better. I'm available to coach groups and individuals on their communications skills and media appearances.
