I’m a writer and content strategist born and raised in western New York among the beauty and (sometimes) frigid temperatures of the Finger Lakes region. After college, I cut my teeth working in PR for a non-profit association in D.C. for a few years, then ventured west and received a master’s degree from the University of Southern California School of Journalism. Decades later I’m still here and love living in Santa Monica, where I’ve raised an independent, travel-loving daughter—my favorite +1.

I’ve spent more than two decades writing stories about travel and life, and seeing my work published is just as exciting now as it was when I started. I also have extensive experience working in PR, media relations and internal communications for a variety of industries including healthcare and medical device, aerospace and finance. Examples of some of this work can be found on the Portfolio page (select the Corporate Work drop down menu). Thanks for checking it out!
