In my seven years at newspapers, I have edited stories on every subject imaginable — from hard news to food, business to entertainment. Working in a newsroom has taught me to be fast, flexible and, above all, accurate.
I'm also an award-winning headline writer who has the ability to capture the essence of a story and present it a punchy, attention-grabbing manner.
Though I have a broad range of general knowledge, I specialize in food, the arts, fashion and popular culture. I have expanded my work to include Web site content and am capable of handling any other formats that come my way. I work in both AP and Chicago styles.
I hold bachelor's degrees in French and liberal studies and a minor in professional writing.
Perhaps the most important thing to know about me is that I edit with heart. This is not just a job, but a passion. I take my work and my clients' happiness very seriously.
