A degreed journalist, I write primarily for and about digital-age families, including personal finance, parenting, home, consumer tech, and gaming.
You can read my articles on personal finance and real estate at Pentagon Federal Credit Union’s Your Money, GOBankingRates, and FindTheBest and Graphiq. You can also find my writing on consumer issues at sites like Huffington Post, MSN Money, DailyFinance, and PriceGrabber’s GrabWorthy.
My articles on parenting and families have been published at magazines and websites including DallasChild, Atlanta Parent, Georgia Family, Houston Family, Kindred, Thrive, Vegetarian Baby & Child, Pittsburgh Parent, San Diego Family, and Sydney’s Child. I’ve written about green living, the environment, and social advocacy at Change.org, SuperEco, North Texas Natural Family, and Natural Family Online.
My writing about consumer tech and gaming has appeared on sites like TIME, USA Today, Digital Trends, Techlicious, Tecca, Amazon.com, Play Savvy, and AOL’s Joystiq/WoW Insider and Joystiq/Massively (now viewable at Engadget).
I also do ghostwriting and have produced digital content for clients as diverse as hospitals and physicians, luxury yacht brokers, heating and air conditioning businesses, attorneys, credit unions, DNA testing companies, and mobile storage unit companies. See my writing portfolio for more information.
Award-winning writing
My professional accolades include two Parenting Publications of America (now Parenting Media Association) Gold Awards for feature writing, a Katie Award for Best Investigative News Story (Magazines) and multiple National Federation of Press Women gold awards. My investigative journalism has been recognized twice with the Dallas Bar Association’s Stephen Philbin Award.
