Freelance journalist and content strategist with almost 30 years of experience across broadcast television, radio, print, and digital media. I\'m a VIP contributor to Entrepreneur.com with more than 12 years of published work on the site, and host of \"From the Ground Up,\" a podcast interviewing entrepreneurs and business leaders on Grit Daily. My bylines include Inc, Fortune, Fast Company, Business Insider, JotForm, and Sporting News.

I\'ve written hundreds of articles for long-term content partners, ghostwritten for executives, and managed editorial teams and subcontract writers. Before going independent, I spent more than a decade in broadcast news as a TV reporter, radio anchor, and web editor at ABC, CBS, and NBC affiliates in California, including KPIX, KNTV, and KEYT. Currently available for contract writing, content strategy, and editorial consulting engagements.
