I'm a freelance journalist specializing in careers and workplace issues. I also conduct exclusive celebrity interviews and cover travel but my bread and butter are career-related topics.
I’m a speaker, workplace consultant, career coach, author of “Big Career in the Big City” and creator/on-air host of “Score That Job!” (I previously worked in corporate HR/recruiting for 15+ years while I moonlit as a journalist.)
Energized to empower people via my media appearances, I strive putting vibrant spins on-air on otherwise dry topics like hiring and workplace trends (ABC News Now, PBS Radio and Fox Business, for example).
I write a Metro column and blog for U.S. News & World Report, Forbes and Mediabistro. The New York Post, Cosmopolitan, CNBC Europe and more outlets here and abroad have published my articles. BlogHer has named me a top career blogger in the country.
Conducting notable name interviews about careers is also my game! Highlights: Gloria Steinem, Judy Blume, Deepak Chopra, Reggie Jackson, Picasso’s grandson and Angelina Jolie (my first A-list interview, 2003).
