Professional Experience
As a tenacious journalist with a passion for political and social issues, I relish a good challenge. I specialize in news and feature writing with the flair and accuracy editors crave, be it a short, sweet quick hit or an in-depth analytical challenge. Thanks to my diverse media experience, I have an appreciation for detail, deadlines and fast-paced environments. Topics tackled include cable television, homelessness and low-income housing, compulsive hoarding (collecting). I also review political and historical nonfiction books and write op-eds on diverse topics from the “Ghettopoly” board game to the Iraq War.
