about me  

I am a full-time professional writer, editor, and content developer based in northern Virginia. I work with clients from around the country and in the DC area on online and mobile content, museum exhibitions, books, magazine articles, social media, and audio and video projects, as well as marketing collateral such as rack cards and brochures.

During my years at Time-Life Books, I gained experience in outlining, planning, and creating editorial projects. As a freelance writer and editor, I have applied those skills to projects for museums, art galleries, national parks, book publishers, magazines, libraries, and others.

My work has included a wide range of nonfiction subjects, including science, the arts, and how-to projects. I have tackled topics from Shakespeare to stamp collecting, and from space science, modern history, and literature to modern art and popular music.

I have a bachelor's degree with highest honors from Princeton University in international relations and I have completed professional development courses in web writing, basic web design, and book publishing, including the Stanford Professional Publishing Course. I am a member of Washington Book Publishers, the American Alliance of Museums (formerly the American Association of Museums), the Editorial Freelancers Association, and the Time-Life Alumni Society.
