About

I am an experienced freelance writer and editor in many genres and subject matter areas.

I write about technology and science most often. I also cover business, legal issues, and finance frequently. You can find samples of my work here.

I contribute regularly to various online publications such as Examiner, AZ Central and Tomorrow’s Trends as a journalist and writer. I continue to write academically and I also write copy and other work to specification. I was a contributor to the a cappella musical In Transit.

A graduate of Columbia Law School, I was a trial attorney for about nine years. During that time I dealt with major felony defense in criminal cases with a focus on forensic science, medical evidence and other technical issues. I also worked for a nonprofit organization just out of law school. I furthered my education by completing my coursework for the LLM in Biotechnology and Genomics. (Still missing that thesis, though!)

I am currently an adjunct professor for Northern Arizona University. My students are graduates and candidates for the Masters of Administration degree. I have taught various business, management, administration, leadership, law and ethics topics over the span of many years.

I also have graduate training in social sciences including anthropology, sociology, gender race and class studies and related areas. I have an MA from the University of Alabama and a BA from the University of Arizona.

When I’m not working I love cooking, baking, canning and pickling. I raise a daughter at home which is my top priority. I love martial arts and yoga.
