Professional Experience
The rebuilding of libraries in Haiti? Check. Talking with one of the legends of pro tennis about Americans' chances at the U.S. Open? Did that. In the past year alone, I've racked up more than 40 bylines covering a range of subjects for leading magazines and websites. Sports, entertainment, home furnishings and family are my specialties, but I feel comfortable tackling whatever assignment is set before me, with a focus on detail and adherence to the tightest deadline structures.
