Here I am in Amsterdam reporting a travel feature, but, more importantly, waiting for a cone of frites with mayonnaise.

I am a writer and editor who has pitched, researched, and written articles for publications from Real Simple to The New York Times; I have worked as a staff editor for The New York Daily News and The New York Post and have also written for The Washington Post (where I had a weekly DIY column and also wrote features). My digital experience includes writing lifestyle articles and editing newsletters for Yahoo.com; working as a senior editor for Condé Nast Traveler’s website; and working as a senior copywriter for social-media marketing company Devumi.com. I’ve written newsletters and marketing materials for corporate clients from Citibank to American Express to Clinique. I have edited multiple novels for publishing house Girl Friday Productions as well as works by independent authors. My copy-editing experience includes working as copy chief at ELLE and freelancing for Allure, InStyle, Fast Company, and Marie Claire. I have worked closely with ad-sales teams to pitch articles and packages for clients at Condé Nast Traveler. I have more than 20 years’ experience in reporting and writing everything from luxury travel, fashion, beauty, real estate, home decór, celebrities, and culture to personal finance, and medical careers. I am adept at using publishing programs like InCopy and K4, as well as proprietary and general CMS platforms. I have experience using the G-Suite of products, Slack, and am skilled in traffic-monitoring tools (Omniture, Chartbeat, Google Analytics); newsletter-creation software Stensul and Epsilon; and social-media promotion via Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. I have expertise in style guides including AP Style, The Chicago Manual of Style, and Words Into Type. I have experience with organizing photo shoots for a wide range of brands and titles.
