My CV
I’ve held a variety of professional writing positions since 1999, in newspapers, magazines, and websites, where I’ve been responsible for delivering everything from breaking news articles to social media copy to long features. In addition, I’m the author of Moon Iceland, a travel guide published by Avalon Travel, an imprint of Perseus Books, a Hachette Book Group company. Originally from New York City, I’m based in Iceland and available for commissions.
