Journalist
Over the course of two decades, I've reported plenty of stories for mainstream and specialty media outlets - digital and print - including PBS NextAvenue, alumni magazines, History.com, AntiqueWeek, and many others.
I cut my freelance teeth on journalism, and the reporter bug has never left me. Today, I'm available to cover all kinds of stories related to coronavirus / COVID-19 (and many other topics) for consumer and trade publications. My approach remains the same as it was 20 years ago: find a unique angle, interview sources, cite solid statistics, and write to AP style (unless otherwise requested).
Here are a few samples of my reporting work.
