BIOGRAPHY
I’ve been a journalist since 1987, when I did a stint as a daily newspaper
reporter at the Malden Evening News, then New Hampshire’s Manchester
Union Leader, covering everything from planning board meetings to the
Pamela Smart murder case. For eight years, I was a senior writer at CFO
magazine, an award-winning corporate finance magazine with 500,000
readers, owned by the Economist Group. I’ve been a full-time freelance writer
since 2005. In addition to the publications listed on this site, I have written
humor and feature work for USA Today, Skiing Magazine, Powder Magazine,
Aspen Magazine, Fine Magazine, The Denver Post and the Rocky Mountain
News. My work is widely blogged, quoted and, occasionally, maligned.
I grew up in a small farming community in central Massachusetts, where my
earliest goal was to “get the hell out of town,” which I did at age 16. A graduate
of Emerson College, I taught humor classes at Boston’s respected literary
organization, Grub Street Writers Inc. I live in the Manhattan with
my awesome husband, Andrew. I’m an avid skier, touring cyclist, traveler,
beach lover, and a new, overly enthusiastic golfer.
