Professional Experience

I am an experienced writer and editor who loves what I do. As a writer, I have told the stories of a wide variety of people, ranging from a vision-impaired artist to a high school football team suffering one of California's longest losing streaks. As an editor, I am expert at managing deadlines and resources to produce consumer magazines, web content, and other materials.
