Professional Experience

A quick study who's always ready to take on new topics, I've spent 15 years writing for non-profits and for-profits on a range of subjects, including business, finance, economics, education, architecture, and travel. I spent 13 of those years writing marketing and advertising copy, split about 50/50 between print and web work. Most recently, I spent 2 years writing for the online investing and finance publications The Motley Fool and AOL Daily Finance. By conservative estimates, I've written more than 500 articles for Fool.com and dozens for DailyFinance.com. My freelance work currently includes writing for The Fiscal Times. I'm also a skilled interviewer. And having worked in more than a few jack-of-all-trades type creative environments, I have solid copyediting and proofing skills as well.
