15 Years Experience

Professional Experience

A well-regarded freelance writer, my background includes social media marketing, video production, and writing articles, both news and features. One of my greatest achievements has been producing a short documentary about climate change in the Adirondacks for the United Nations that earned an honorary mention from the embassies of France in 2016. Local media –print, radio, TV – has interviewed me about my projects. I have been working as a freelance writer since 2007 writing business, health and general news stories for newspapers including the Leader Herald, Country Folks Growers, Saratoga Business Journal and Glens Falls Business Journal.
