Professional Experience
I am an Associated Press award winning writer. From travel in Thailand to City Hall in small town U.S.A, I've covered a lot of ground. A versatile and fluid worker, I have applied my skills to beat journalism, writing, editing and advertising. In teams or working alone, I deliver quality to any deadline.
