Welcome!
I am a systems thinker who loves to dig into stories, manage projects, and help organizations develop processes and programs that serve their missions. I’m happiest when I can put my busy brain to work and use my wide range of skills in writing, editing, and project management.
As an editor, I have worked with UNICEF, USAID, and Lonely Planet, among others. I’ve also written and produced for public television shows and corporate video. For many years, I produced the Association for Talent Development’s main member newsletter and have run my own project – Spark – a series of events for writers and artists. I have also managed a script-to-screen program for Willamette Writers.
My articles have been published in daily newspapers, alternative weeklies, alumni, trade, and national magazines, and on the web. I received an honorable mention for magazine feature writing in the Writer’s Digest 78th Annual Writing Competition, and my story on veterinary hospice was included in McGraw-Hill’s Annual Edition Series, Dying, Death, and Bereavement 11/12.
Born and raised in southeastern Massachusetts, I currently live in Portland, Oregon. I love heading to the coast in search of agates and other treasures, playing board games and pinball as often as possible, and looking for beavers, otters, and bats in my neighborhood park.
