Experience and Passion

For 17 years I've been doing a job I love: empowering readers by writing articles that educate and motivate. 

I am a stickler for accuracy. I don't just find the quickest sources; I find the best ones. And when I interview, I establish that instant intimacy so important to securing strong quotations and personal anecdotes.

I write frequently on topics related to health, parenting and older adults. Quick turnarounds are my specialty, thanks to a decade spent in the daily newspaper world. My extensive Web experience has taught me the importance of packing lots of information into small spaces.

I am one of the top read writers on iVillage.com with more than 2.5 million page views per year. I am also a regular contributor to AARP Bulletin, the second-largest circulation publication in the U.S. Regarding my work, editors have called it, "fun to read," "interesting, relevant and well written" and "you have been a dream to work with. I hope this is the first of many projects together." Client recommendations can be viewed on my Linked In page.

My byline can be found in O, the Oprah Magazine; AARP Bulletin; Prevention.com; American Baby; Kiwi; iVillage.com and EverydayHealth.com, among others. Check out my Clips by Publication or Clips by Topic for examples of my work.

Thank you for visiting my Web page. I look forward to assisting you with your next project.

This I Believe...

Solid reporting creates the framework for good writing.

My other guiding principles include:

- Deadlines are sacred.

- Editing is best when it's collaborative.

- The reader must be respected.

- All reporting must be fair, accurate and balanced.

I am ready to take on your next editorial project, be it breaking news, a Web slideshow or an in-depth, multi-sourced investigative feature.
