Professional Experience
Service stories are my strength: I excel at taking complex subjects and explaining them in sharply written sentences (turned in right on time, of course). I'm a lifestyles guru, publishing pieces on every topic from parenting to entertaining, personal finance to travel. I've watched master chefs create wedding cakes, interviewed Anne Rice, detailed my experiences adopting my daughters from China, and reported on how to properly imbibe vodka in Russia and cachaca in Brazil.
I've developed an expertise in content strategy as well, helping advertising agencies develop new sites, newsletter concepts and other web content for companies like Kodak, IBM, LG and Time Warner.
