: About Me

I'm an award-winning former journalist, now working as a senior writer-editor for a large U.S. federal agency.

I also have recently begun the blog *WASHWORDS*: http://washwords.wordpress.com

My work has appeared in several publications including: The Washington Post, Newsweek, Syracuse Herald-Journal, and my personal essays have aired on WAMU (Washington, D.C. public radio

My blog, which I launched in April 2008, has been cited on Columbia Journalism Review, DC Blogs Noted, PBS MediaShift, Digidave's "Journalism is a Process Not a Product" and Washingtonian's "Capital Comment."

I am particularly known for my ability to translate complicated information into "plain English" and to write in a user-friendly, personal way.

I hope I can help with writing on your next project.

P.S. I'm happy to share my "real info" with those who purchase my work). Thank you, Washwords.
