Hello, and thank you for visiting my portfolio.
I'm a journalist with 18+ years' experience working with local, national and international print and digital media for consumer and trade markets. As a magazine editor and features writer, I have contributed to publications in regional and global markets covering diverse beats and topics, including but not limited to lifestyle, travel, cuisine, culture, business, wellness, technology, disability and education.
Currently, I am the publisher and editor of Traveler and Tourist - a digital subscriber-only monthly lifestyle magazine created in California for a global audience. My editorial experience includes managing several glossy monthly print publications in Southern California and my bylines have appeared in various publications, select samples of which can be reviewed on my portfolio page. I am also the editor with Diversity Professional and copy editor with Gulfshore Life.
Other services I provide include copy editing and proofreading, crafting website and newsletter copy, blogging, covering conferences, social media, and creating public relations and marketing materials. I offer clear, correct, concise, complete and consistent copy and edits, no matter the channel or audience targeted. I also specialize in translation and localization services (French and Hindi). Select client testimonials are also available on this site, with an extended version available on my LinkedIn profile.
Professional affiliations - I am one of the chapter coordinators for Solutions Journalism Network L.A, and a member of the American Society of Journalists and Authors, Los Angeles Press Club, North American Travel Journalists Association, Society of American Business Editors and Writers, and National Writers Union.
I am a finalist in two categories (food/culture review and business) in the 2019 Los Angeles Press Club SoCal Journalism Awards. I was a Society for Professional Journalists 2015 Dori Maynard Diversity Leadership Program fellow. I was a selected candidate at Thread at Yale 2015 Modern Storytelling Workshop inaugural cohort and was previously nominated for a 2012 Atlanta Press Club Award of Excellence in Print Journalism.
In October 2015, I moved from Atlanta to Los Angeles, currently residing in the heart of Hollywood just minutes from the Walk of Fame and Chinese Theater. Please connect with me if you are in the area or if I can assist with your publication/communication projects.
You can also amuse yourselves by reading this fun version of what my friends think I do, and read a few mentions in the press here!
