Professional Experience
I’m an award-winning writer with expertise in wine and spirits, food and travel. My extensive experience also includes ghost writing, crafting website copy and creating public relations and marketing materials. In between far-flung adventures I write about wine and travel for Forbes.com, review restaurants for The Atlantan and cover wine and food for Men’s Book and Jezebel magazines. I turn on my southern charm for my work in Southern Living and channel my inner wine geek when writing for Decanter and The Tasting Panel. In the past I’ve co-authored a travel guide to Ireland: The Everything Guide to Ireland (Adams Media), edited a city guide for Atlanta (Northstar Media) and worked as a Senior Editor at The Wine Report. I was recently awarded the MAGS Association Magnolia Award for excellence in writing and editing and currently hold a Wine and Spirits Education Trust Intermediate Certificate.
