About Me

Hello, I am an accomplished creative writer, journalist and copy editor living in sunny South Florida. Originally from Brooklyn, New York, I am blessed with the ability to live and work in paradise every day.

An avid reader and health and fitness enthusiast, I enjoy creating compelling content for the luxury lifestyle, travel, fashion, and health and healing markets, among others.

I began my publishing journey at Bantam Doubleday Dell in New York, where I quickly rose to a managerial position in sales and later as a sales director for Prentice Hall Press, overseeing domestic and international rights for their trade division. Turning my focus to writing, my first love, I went on to create front-page editorials for local newspapers and feature stories for national magazines. I can offer over two decades of editing, copywriting and managerial experience with a strong background in public relations, sales, and marketing. For the last seven years as senior editor of Florida Design Magazine, a national, award-winning interior design publication, I edited and created original cover stories and feature articles for the interior design and luxury living market. I am extremely organized, detail oriented and a fast learner. Going the extra mile for every client, I like to think out of the box, while overseeing all projects enthusiastically and seamlessly from start to finish.
