I curate career conversations through impactful content. I'm a seasoned career, business, women's leadership, and lifestyle journalist and editor with two decades-plus experience. My most recent projects include book projects like Your Turn: Kids, Careers & Comebacks- A Working Mother's Guide; content development for The Cru, a peer mentorship platform; and writing and editing book proposals for thought leaders.Twenty years ago, took the road less traveled—from digital startup to print magazine to book publishing and all the way back around—to become a keen editorial content strategist, respected manager, and digital devotee. Have worked at top magazine brands and exciting startups alike. I also love working with authors and thought leaders to develop and edit their content and newsletter strategy.
