I have been a feature writer with a focus in the areas of travel (destination and trends), lifestyle (narratives and how-to), and business for national consumer magazines and newspapers like Country Living, National Geographic Traveler, inflight magazines, and Dallas Morning News for the last ten years. Before that I worked as an editor for books, journals, reports, reviews, grants, and various projects for Scribner's, Simon and Schuster, Johns Hopkins University Press, and University of Wisconsin.
