FULL BIO
I am a social media maven and writing wizard who specializes in the world of Web 2.0, social media, web
start ups and technology news. I write for Profy.com and Blorge, as well as FreeAccess and other
technology publications. I am a member of Media Makers and other social media and web marketing
groups and am active in the Web 2.0 community around the Boston area.
I have also ghostwritten ebooks, press releases and articles on ADHD, ADD, Death and Grieving,
Psychology, Philosophy, MySpace, AdWords, AdSense, Affiliate Marketing, SEO Optimization, Blogging,
Weddings, Pets, Business Tactics, Music, Reality Television Shows, 9/11, eBay, Headache Treatments,
careers in the arts and much more.
I completed fifteen "how-to" e-books for Style Career Publications on a variety of style and arts careers.
I completed a major editing project for a private party, encompassing a chapbook of their family history
and compilations of several wills and other family heirloom documents.
For Brooks, I was responsible for all marketing material, research, graphic design, direct marketing, ad
copy, and corporate identity publishing from design to distribution.
For Vortech Superchargers, I was responsible for retail catalog design, parts and product photography,
marketing copy, editing and publication under multiple ongoing deadlines.

NAHB, MCC / Peelers, AGC California Tri Counties, Takanaka USA, Barber & Barber, Inc., Cottage
Hospital System, Structnet, Inc. and BrainPower, Inc., to name a few.
My career in publishing began with 2 years as a contributing reporter to the weekly financial newsletter
Corporate Growth Report, followed by a promotion to Managing Editor of the same newsletter and its
companion yearly sourcebook for an additional 2 years. During that time I oversaw two other reporters in
addition to newsletter and sourcebook production, research and assisting with editing the company's
