I’m a career journalist with almost 15 years of writing and editing experience. I’ve worked for metropolitan newspapers, nationally recognized magazines, and a variety of books and Web sites. I also spent three years as a journalism professor, teaching young writers and editors the tools of the trade. (If I can handle the writing of teenagers, I can handle anything!)

No matter the information my clients are trying to relay, I can ensure they'll be able to communicate in a clear, concise (and grammatically correct!) manner with their audiences.
