I'm glad you decided to visit my web site. Here you can view a wide range of my writing samples. I'm a Colorado-based freelance writer specializing in travel, health, food and consumer issues, as well as the juvenile market. In fact there are few topics I won't tackle.

I am always on the lookout for new outlets and know you will find me to be reliable, accurate and deadline conscious. Plus editors soon discover that I'm the person to call when they are in a bind.

My latest venture is MileHighOnTheCheap, a website devoted to deals, bargains and freebies in the metro Denver area. The site is an official member of the Cities On The Cheap network and was just named "Best Website for Cheapskates" by Westword magazine, Denver's alternative weekly.

In August/September you'll find my stories in AARP The Magazine (Livin' La Vida Local), AARP.org (How To Get Your Smartphone To Pay For Itself), and Dallas Morning News (Going Grown Up, 8/15/10) My piece Blast From The Past for AAA World Online was honored with a Bronze Award in the 2009 Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Competition. A copy is posted in my writing samples section.

While I hope you will peruse my writing samples section, you are also welcome to read some of my work posted online (either online versions of print stories or online-only articles). These include Staycations? Forget 'em! (AARP The Magazine, January 2010), Picture of the Woodstock Generation (AARP Bulletin Today, August 10, 2009), A Home Inventory Can Save You From Insurance Headaches (AARP Bulletin Today, June 8, 2009), Conventional Wisdom (Global Traveler, April 2008), Courting Veterans Voices (AARP.org, November 2008).

As a professional, full-time journalist I hold membership in the American Society of Journalists and Authors, Society of American Travel Writers and the Denver Woman's Press Club.
