Wordsmithing is one of my greatest joys. Whether it’s checking facts for accuracy, scouring copy for typos, or writing an engaging story about furniture history, I can make words come alive. My specialties are writing, editing, fact-checking, copyediting, proofreading, and blogging. I love the shelter industry, but more than anything, I love researching and then writing a great story on any topic.

I am the assistant managing editor for Hanley Wood business media, working on ARCHITECT, Architectural Lighting, Eco-Structure, and Metalmag magazines, and the editor at large for GRAY magazine.

I am also a freelance writer and editor, and my articles have appeared in the following magazines and newspapers: ARCHITECT, Eco-Structure, Preservation, Seattle, Seattle Bride, Seattle Homes & Lifestyles, The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Seattle Weekly, the Smith Alumnae Quarterly, West Virginia Living, and The Washington Post HOME section. I also wrote the introduction to Body + Being: How We Age by Stephanie J. Cooper.

In March 2010, I helped plan and coordinate the Smith College alumnae conference titled, “A Century of Women in Type: Smith Women in the Media.”
