What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my writing and editing skills in a collaborative environment, where I can contribute to impactful storytelling and content development.

I am a seasoned professional writer with over two decades of experience crafting compelling articles for renowned consumer publications such as National Geographic Traveler, Self, and USA Today. My journey began in 1997, and since then, I have honed my skills in writing, editing, and proofreading, ensuring that every piece I produce resonates with readers and meets the highest standards of quality.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with various custom publishers and marketing agencies, creating tailored content that engages audiences and drives results. My work has not only been recognized with prestigious awards, including the Reader’s Digest Excellence in Journalism Award, but has also allowed me to contribute to the success of numerous publications. I take pride in my ability to manage projects effectively, from generating story ideas to overseeing freelance contributors, ensuring that every publication I work on is a true reflection of excellence.
