I am a freelance writer, journalist, and editor committed to providing informative and well-written articles on tight deadlines. My areas of expertise include: environmental /wildlife issues, sustainable agriculture, health, politics, green business, non-profits, human rights, social justice, and animal care & welfare. I have been a regular contributing writer on health and the environment for Vermont Woman, an award winning montly magazine, since fall 2007. Other publication credentials include E Magazine, Z Magazine, Washington Woman, Natural Awakenings and more. I am a member of the Society of Environmental Journalists and the National Association of Science Writers. 
 
I am available for contract work for any publication, business, or NGO that may be interested in my services. If you have an area- or issue-specific idea for an article or project, I would love to share my experiences with your readers through my writing. In addition to individual assignments, I can work for businesses as a contract communications consultant who can assist in prolonged copywriting and editing ventures for press releases, fact sheets, brochures, grant proposals, and newsletter articles. I am also ready for hire to any individuals who require assistance with their academic or professional assignments. I will proofread, copy edit, organize, add-on and otherwise "clean up" your writing. I can even serve as an online writing tutor or coach to individuals who need to improve their writing aptitude for school or work, or who seek input or writing skills enhancement for their own creative endeavors or personal projects.
 
I am also a creative writer of poetry, short and long fiction, and narrative nonfiction. My poems have been published in Gin Bender, 12th Planet and upstreet. Additionally, I have performed spoken word, or featured at, readings in select venues in Vermont, New York, Boston, and the D.C. Metro area.
