Other Work History
Before becoming a freelancer, I was a reporter with the Associated Press in Athens, Greece, covering the Paralympics, art and archaeology exhibitions, and minority rights issues. I also worked for the AP in Louisville, Ky., where I wrote stories about crime and the military. After that, I transferred to New York City, where I worked as a business reporter for four years.
