About

I am a writer, editor and Web content manager with more than 30 years of professional experience. My areas of concentration include education, environment and sustainability, health/medical, legal, real estate and the food business; although in the past year alone I also have written about topics ranging from quantum computing, to human resources management, to immigrants' rights. 

Since my 1989 graduation from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, I have worked full-time as a staff writer for Chicago Lawyer magazine, assistant editor of The Public Innovator newsletter, managing editor of The Neighborhood Worksmagazine, and in-house editor at Medill.

Since leaving Medill for the second time to become a full-time freelancer in 2002, I have written and edited content for independent consumer and B-to-B publications as well as those based at universities, associations and other non-profits. In addition to articles, I have written case studies and white-papers for foundations, companies and other clients. 

I have worked as a digital editor and content manager both at Medill and more recently for both LISC/Chicago and Meatingplace's technical e-newsletters. And I have served as a publications editor for the University of Illinois College of Medicine and the YGS Group.
