Professional Experience
As a journalist with diverse 13-year experience working for magazines, newspapers and websites, I've written everything from celebrity cover stories to a feature on the growth of the Latino community in post-Katrina New Orleans. As a former writer and editor for a national women's magazine, I have particular expertise in arts & entertainment writing and lifestyle stories. I have also written extensively on crime, contemporary art and travel.
