Professional Experience

A former AP reporter, I specialize in lifestyle and health stories. I have written columns and blogs on work-life balance and women's issues. As former head of PR for The Humane Society of the US and the American Diabetes Association, I am able to capture stories that bring issues to life and effect social change.
