Professional Experience
Staff Writer/Assistant Editor at a Washington, D.C.-based international trade publisher focused on downstream oil and petroleum business. I cover the industry's daily shakeups, such as a routine $26 million merger deal, along with occasional intrigue and enterprise investigations, like an oil exec being sentenced to prison for importing jet turbine oil to a sanctioned Iranian market.
Why my day gig is a great outlet for hard-hitting news and business writing, pleasure by the light of the moon comes with finding new ways to deliver human interest stories and engage a broader audience.
