My passion for writing is lifelong. I started as a child, writing poetry and lyrics before discovering my love for journalism in high school. I’ve freelanced for print and web for more than 20 years – specializing in arts and entertainment reporting. I’ve interviewed Grammy, Emmy, and Oscar winners, in addition to spotlighting many community leaders, artists, and authors. I’m also skilled in feature, review, and analytical pieces, as well as news writing. While producing live TV through the years, I had to build and write my show each morning – shifting between breaking news, crime, and politics – to celebrity headlines, trending topics, and lighthearted features. I also have a strong background in technical writing and am currently working on a memoir of personal essays.
