Professional Experience
Content Writer - Journalist - Editor - New York
An established finance, business and lifestyle journalist, I am skilled at researching and developing high quality content on specific topics in a limited period of time. I specialize in both high quality feature length articles and short pieces appropriate for front-of-book, newspaper or online media. Whether it be a profile a billion dollar hedge fund manager, a local musician or tackling an important social issue, my clients return when it is time to assign future projects.
