SKILLS
I can provide quality writing and editing for consumer, custom published and
trade magazines, as well as for commercial and non-profit clients. I’m
quick, dependable and have a strong respect for deadlines. I’m a pro
at tracking down sources across the country, from experts to regular people
on the street. I love introducing people to new things and explaining confusing
topics –- from legal battles to new scientific discoveries -- in easy-to-understand
language.
