Editorial Background
My background is rooted in journalism and print and digital publishing. Early in my career, I launched, redesigned and helmed trade and niche consumer magazines, including Paintball Sports and Club Systems International. Today, my work appears across major digital publications and is widely syndicated across leading platforms.
I cover personal finance, technology, real estate, travel, and lifestyle topics with an emphasis on clarity and usefulness. My editorial experience and newsroom chops shape how I approach every project, whether I’m writing an article, shaping a content strategy, or helping a brand translate expertise into stories people want to read.
Clients work with me because they want thoughtful, experienced editorial direction. They are not willing to settle for low-quality copywriting, templated content, or generic AI output.
Geek Travel Guide
In addition to client work, I publish Geek Travel Guide, a digital publication focused on family travel, technology, and entertainment. Running an owned media property keeps me closely connected to the realities of audience growth, SEO, content performance, and platform change.
Mentorship & Courses
I seek to mentor new and advancing writers at every opportunity, serving as a two-time panelist for the ASJA (American Society of Journalists and Authors) conference and as an active member in several writing mastermind and networking groups. I also offer a course for beginning content writers.
Personal Facts
When I’m not writing or hosting game night at my house, I’m traveling, thinking about traveling, or planning my family’s next trip.
I live in a suburb of New York City with my husband, two teenagers, and a clowder of cats who, let’s face it, are the most demanding “clients” any service provider will ever experience.
