I am an American freelance journalist, author, editor, columnist, publisher and media practitioner with over 25 years experience working around the globe. Over that time I have produced an extensive portfolio of articles and features and have become a multi-faceted journalist capable of reporting on almost any kind of story. I have written about such varied topics as geo-politics, business, international relations, sports, culture, travel, general news and extensive column writing. I'm also the author of two books of Asian travel essays. As a copy writer, I am able to produce solid, sharply edited content in a timely manner, including headlines and excerpts. As a copy editor, I bring a meticulous approach to my work, combining thorough research with a love for the nuances of the English language. I have the ability to make even mundane topics sound lively and interesting, while maintaining the voice of the writer. I take direction well and consider myself a team player. I also have extensive experience working with content management systems(CMS.)
