Always a journalist at heart, I combine sharp research and interviewing skills with unending curiosity on every assignment. The result is smart content tailored to the mission and the audience, be it objective editorial, persuasive copy or instructional in nature.

    I excel at managing projects large and small--from concept to completion, or at whatever point you need me to jump in to help you and your team get a job done.

    • Conference planning, including booking speakers and facilities, on-site management
    • Manager of journalistic award programs, from entry intake through judging to production of award shows
