I’m an award-winning journalist, editor and content strategist with deep roots in alternative journalism, and arts and culture magazines. My work has appeared in print and online in local, regional and national publications. I’ve written everything from long-form investigative pieces and magazine articles to profiles and articles for alumni magazines as well as blogs and company website articles. I believe in the transformational power of storytelling and have built my career around harnessing that power — for myself, for communities, for companies. A very partial list of where my work has been published includes Next Avenue, Take magazine, Connecticut Magazine and Adirondack Explorer, to name a few. A more complete list is on my website
