Professional Experience

I'm fun, fast, easy to work with, responsive, responsible, reliable, a crack researcher and stellar interviewer, and can get projects done on time. I like to collaborate but I'm also able to work on my own. I can lead a team or be a team player. I like to make things interesting--and prefer interesting projects. I also like things that make the reader think.

Other Work History

I've worked as a radio program producer, and have freelanced for many other magazines and newspapers as well--from Manhattan Style and Trend to The New Mexican and New York Newsday. Plus, several years ago I cofounded and co-owned a digital marketing company--so I know how to write in a way that's attractive to Google and for SEO.
