Hello!

I’m an independent editor and writer.  Thanks for stopping by to check out my portfolio. 

I specialize in storytelling about science research and higher education. During my career, I’ve served both as a magazine editor and director of university news. I hold an MFA in nonfiction writing and a master of public policy and management degree. (My CV is on LinkedIn.)

I also write picture books for kids. I enjoy leading a monthly writing workshop with the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. 

These days I live and write in West Palm Beach, Florida.  I’ve also called Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Manitowoc, Wis., home. 

Fiddling is my favorite hobby. My Pittsburgh band Callan recorded two albums of Celtic music, and I was a violinist with the Manitowoc Symphony Orchestra. Sometimes, I even get to play my violin for podcasts.
