From a background in paleontology I jumped into the field of journalism with both feet. Some of my expertise includes older adults, autism, foster parenting, general science, parenting and fossil hunting. Such varied interests and experience, coupled with my perfectionism bordering on obsessiveness, I'm a perfect candidate for most writing/editing jobs.
