About
A distinctive 40-year career successfully informing, motivating and often prompting purposeful personal and organizational action through fact-based health/science news and feature content.
Freelance contributor to The New York Times and general consumer and trade media outlets.
Like most of us, I am many things - a parent, a daughter, a wife. And always a writer.
From the art of telling a Twitter-length story to a blog post or magazine feature, my journalism background always guides the voice in my head.
Early in my career I earned a valuable reputation
for translating health and scientific news into compelling, understandable stories that attract the reader from the first line, then hold their attention.
​
I went on to write and manage content about renewable energy and climate issues.
​
My first children's book was a joy to write at a time when the world was more upside down than ever.
A crazy year - it isn't easy! is the hopeful story of a
9-year-old living through the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic.
​
Much of my work has been ghostwriting, from blogs and opinion columns to full-length books and even medical textbook chapters.
My second children's manuscript is a ghostwritten tale telling an adult's story of how The Accident as a toddler shaped her entire life.
​
During a global pandemic, how do you choose to spend your time? I edited six books, most by previously published authors who wanted an extra set of eyes. ​
Now, I am excited to have completed the essays and interviews that drive me - changing the conversation around chronic cancer. The Big C² - stories from the chronic side of cancer.
I have two adult "boys" living in the NYC area. I wake up most mornings in beautiful Saratoga Springs, New York and commute 18 feet to my office.
