Brooklyn, NY
After two decades as a business development executive in IT and new media, I turned to my original dream of being a professional writer. That was in 2004, and with Meetings Focus as one of my first clients, my professional adventure continues to this day. Centered in custom publishing, my works runs the gamut of genres, from business, marketing and law to travel, leisure and human interest. Also an extensive traveler and award-winning photographer, I am in the process of finishing my first book project, ghostwriting a history of women lawyers and women general counsel in the U.S.
