Professional Experience
Writer, Blogger, Editor, Proofreader and Financial Services Lawyer - I run a lifestyle blog (http://OfficeStace.com) and recently quit my legal job to pursue a freelance career. I've written for various print and online publications on a wide range of lifestyle topics such as getting left at the altar, signs you should quit your job, commuter rage, spit-up is the new perfume (motherhood), having a much taller husband, entertainment / TV reviews and pop culture. I've also written TV scripts and been featured on several different TV programs as a result of my blog (including ABC's 20/20). As a lawyer, I'm a meticulous editor and grammar nut. Open to a wide range of assignments.
