Professional Experience
Freelance travel writer that has significant experience with books, magazines, newspapers and websites. I've written three NYC Guidebooks for Rizzoli on Weekend Getaways and also on raising kids in NYC. I also write travel, parenting, and lifestyle pieces. My writing focuses on family, offbeat, car and budget travel along with an insiders view of New York City. In addition, I've been an acquiring editor at a major publishing house and taught writing and literature at a college.
