OBJECTIVE: From press releases and PSAs to freelance work for the LA WEEKLY and okayplayer.com; from taking notes on
story sessions on an NBC sitcom to producing and writing a student center video at Bergen Community College. Highly detail
oriented with an astute eye for editing, a sharp sense of humor and an aversion to Oxford commas, my number one goal is to bring my
long and varied writing history, as well as levity and confidence to a collaborative, challenging and fun editorial department.
