Summary

Experienced in newsletters, feature articles, press releases, web content, reports and more. Blogger of StateEats.com, exploring iconic dishes of our 50 states.

Details

Whether writing a feature magazine article on tackling children’s sleep issues, or researching the latest information on brain studies for a newsletter, I deliver well-researched, concise communications on deadline.

With almost 20 years of experience in the field, my articles have appeared in the Chicago Tribune, Adoptive Families magazine as well as professional association publications, small business and nonprofit communications.
