Professional Experience

I'm an experienced writer, editor and book author. My first book was published in June 2010 by St. Martin's Press titled, "Shes Got Game." It covers all the rules and history of sports mixed with the things women think about like what to wear and when lines will be shortest. I did multiple readings and signings at bookstores and at one bookstore/bar. Yes, that exists. I love NYC. Some of the venues were packed but I didn't know a soul. Others venues were empty except for the three people that I dragged there. I also was on more than 30 radio shows (a mix of telephone call-in and in-studio) and five live television appearances. I have extensive fact-checking experience. I had to speak to sources in prisons, dig through lost public records, fact-check entire books on my own and had libel lawyers on speed dial. I started my career in public relations and worked for a pro hockey team and as a legislative aide for the state of Florida.
