After graduating from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts with a degree in film and television and serving a stint as a production assistant on the feature film Year of the Dragon, I decided to take the advice of my film professor, who told me he saw me as a writer rather than a director. Since then I've been happily writing, editing, and otherwise messing about with words. Some of my accomplishments include:
-
Becoming the author of two books, Barnes & Noble Basics Home Renovation, and Entertainment Architecture: Technology & Design.
- Collaborating with the author of Ada's Daughter, a Memoir.
- Serving for three years as the writer of Home Accents, a full-color, pull-out Sunday supplement of the NY Daily News.
- Providing freelance production editorial services for Simon & Schuster adult and children's divisions.
- Acting as writer, editor, and media consultant for New York City nonprofit organizations and obtaining front-page stories in the New York Times as well as coverage in the Daily News, Newsday, the New York Observer, the Village Voice, the Amsterdam News, , and WNBC-TV.
- Interviewing everyone from sr. vps and CEOs to designers and educators and writing news and feature articles for trade and consumer publications, including Workingmother.com, the National Association of Female Executives, Kitchen Portfolio, Spectrum, the Long Island Press, Retail Merchandiser, HFN: Home Furnishings News, Consumer Goods Technology, and Gourmet Retailer.
