Professional Experience

I am an award-winning journalist with more than two decades of experience covering fashion, beauty, travel, celebrity, interior design and other features. In addition to my feature writing, I also do market work for a couple of national magazines, primarily in jewelry and watches. My stories are well-resourced and entertaining, and I pride myself in submitting clean copy.
