About Me

Welcome

I'm an experienced health writer, editor and researcher with multiple bylines in publications such as "The Boston Globe Magazine," "The New York Times," "World of Psychology," "KevinMD," "Edutopia," "Salon" and other publications.

Check out some samples in my creative portfolio.

For over two decades, I've been working with some great healthcare, social service and educational organizations to help them tell their best stories across various digital and print platforms.

As well as writing, I'm a trained teacher who has provided employee development seminars for many great local and regional organizations.

I have experience working with international clients and switching between American and British style guides. Also, I'm a proud member of the American Medical Writers Association and the International Women's Writing Guild.

For digital support (video, photography, web design) I collaborate with some trusted and talented professionals with whom I've worked for a long time.

We keep it simple. We keep it elegant. We keep it all about you, the client.

So get in touch and let's chat about how I can tell your organization's best stories. Or read, "Why Work with Me?" on this page (below).

Or hey, don't take my work for any of this. Instead, see what my editorial, marketing and training clients say about me.
