Professional Bio
I'm a former-daily-news-reporter-turned-freelance writer and organizational-communications-professional for nonprofit organizations. My writing has appeared in The Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, NextAvenue.org (a PBS-affiliate news and information site), the New Orleans Times-Picayune, South Florida Sun-Sentinel, CEO World, Forbes.com and BusinessInsider.com.
My work has garnered multiple national awards, including from the International Association of Business Communicators, the Public Relations Society of America, Independent Publisher Book Awards, and industry trade publications Ragan Communications and PR News.
In addition, I'm the author of the nationally award-winning, commercially published Hell and High Water: The Battle to Save the New Orleans Times-Picayune. I've also worked as an adjunct college instructor in Maryland, Louisiana, Ohio and Nevada.
I hold bachelor's and graduate degrees from Northwestern University, and a second graduate degree from The Ohio State University, where I was a fellow in the internationally competitive, then one-year Kiplinger Mid-Career Program in Public Affairs Reporting endowed by the Kiplinger financial media family.
