Professional Experience

A degree in science writing from New York University has given me the opportunity to cover stories ranging from the rise of green construction in urban New Jersey and alternatives to embryonic stem cells. My interests, however, span a wide variety of cultural issues: from the struggles of Muslims living in suburban New Jersey post-9/11 to the art of flamenco dancing. I'm looking for the opportunity to pursue these stories for smart titles.
