About Me & My

Illustrator

 
 

Well, I’ve been writing freelance magazine features for over 20 years--on everything from celebrity chefs and resorts to homing pigeons and pot-bellied pigs. I live in Bucks County, Pennsylvania with my family and own posse of poodles.


Before being my own boss, I served as an editor for Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich, and a communications manager/consultant for both Fortune 500 and smaller corporations. For the past two decades, I’ve written for both national and regional magazines and corporations. I guess you can say that I’ve gone to the dogs, spending many fun hours observing, writing and speaking about some of my favorite four-legged companions, and teaching adult publishing camps at Temple University, Mercer County Community College, DelVal College and various community education programs.
