Professional Experience

From snarky to scholarly, I can write in just about any voice. And have proven that over the past dozen years, with more than 300 published articles to my credit. Though my true passion lies in entertainment reporting (film is a particular interest), I use freelancing as an opportunity for education--teaching readers what I've learned.
