Professional Experience
I'm a wordsmith and social media moderator with nearly 20 years of experience in print and web publishing and a distinct ability to craft clear, compelling prose out of complex subjects. I'm also a movie buff who has interviewed directors ranging from Whit Stillman to Susan Seidelman, as well as written film reviews and analyses. Plus, I'm a foodie with a broad knowledge of world cuisines and significant blogging credentials. (I've blogged extensively on food and restaurants for Zagat.) And I have an eagle eye that enables me to attend to the minutest detail, as well as find errors that no one else can spot.
