Brief Biography
My writing career stretches back more than 15 years through internships and in-house stints as a reporter, a copywriter, Director of Content Development at a dot.com and editor at the management consulting firm of McKinsey & Company.
Since 2004, I have provided freelance writing services to a variety of editorial, corporate and consulting clients. During that time, I have created or edited hundreds of articles, reports, white papers, op-eds and other thought leadership materials.
