After receiving my B.A. in Magazine Journalism in 1987, I began a career as a magazine editor. I worked as a copy editor, managing editor, and executive editor on magazines and then began working as a technical writer.

I have published more than 60 magazine articles in the technical (software), health, education, and beauty fields, including two personal profiles -- one on Dan Millman, author of The Way of the Peaceful Warrier -- and one on Jeremy Tarcher, the leading New Age publisher.

Currently I write and edit on a freelance basis and I work full-time writing user guides, software installation guides, software specifications requirements, online Help systems, and programmer's reference manuals.

I'd like to write science stories -- anything from the latest discoveries in particle physics to global warming to the demise of the dinosaurs.

I am always available to copy edit articles, books, and documents, and I have four years under my belt as a full-time copy editor--finding and fixing errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and English usage.

I would also welcome freelance translation work (from French to English and from Spanish to English).

Interests: health and fitness, science (physics, astronomy, nanotechnology), software technology, beauty, parenting, personality profiles, textbooks, editing of novels
