I Love What I Do …
As a former attorney, I like to say I “escaped from the law” more than 20 years ago to freelance fulltime. Since then, I’ve published more than 2,000 articles in print and online publications including Family Circle, Health, Parents, Runner’s World, Continental, and NextAvenue.org, and have produced written content for agencies including MXM, StayWell, and Imagination.
In 2022, I returned to the law and now write legal content for Miles Mediation & Arbitration full-time. I continue to freelance, writing about health, wellness, nutrition, and fitness subjects (I’m a former ACE-certified personal trainer as well) but have scaled way back on ghostwriting.
I still write for myself, too. In June, 2024, my first memoir, The Book That (Almost) Got Me Fired: How I (Barely) Survived A Year in Corporate America will be published, and I look forward to talking more about the transition from long-time freelancer to corporate cog (spoiler alert: the transition was rough but I’ve learned a lot along the way!).
When I’m not pounding the keys of my Mac, you’re likely to find me playing 8-ball, working on my golf swing, or making time for a run. I live 20 miles west of Chicago and share my home with one son, one daughter, one rescue pup, and one very spoiled fat gray tabby cat.
