Professional Experience

I'm an eagle-eyed editor who always makes deadline, a writer with a lyrical touch and a sly sense of humor. I've handled everything from local news stories to red-carpet fashion writeups, directed book, movie and music coverage and interviewed a few celebrities myself. I have a passion for pop culture and proper grammar, and I'm equally at home in print or online.
