A New York Times Company

I’m a freelance writer in the San Francisco Bay Area, with a background in administration. From 2007 to 2009, I wrote and edited the San Francisco website for About.com, part of the New York Times Company. I covered all aspects of life and travel in the city and surrounding Bay Area, as well as maintaining and writing a daily blog.


My previous writing experience includes technical, PR and essay writing. I wrote a regular Mind/Body Health column for Natural Living Today magazine.


I also do freelance research, currently working for bestselling author James Patterson.
