I am especially fond of the article "The Story Seeker" for the TimesLedger . The writer and illustrator profiled in the article is someone who interviews and writes about those who typically would not be seen. I see a lot of myself in writer Zina Saunders. I hope that her story will resonate as much with you as it did with me. 

My first love is newspapers. I started out in the field of journalism, and some of my best memories are from covering stories and interviewing people from all walks of life. Sadly, many of my clips have been lost to the ether, but I do have a few remaining clips. While in New York, I freelanced for the TimesLedger Newspapers. This piece centers on a summer dance event at P.S.1, a museum dedicated to installation art and affiliated with MOMA. 

In another lifetime, I would have been a librarian. I love everything about books and libraries. So, when I discovered that September is Library Care Sign-up Month, I wanted to write an article extolling the virtues of having a library card, besides checking out books, for others. Check this out and sign up for your library card today. 

In these days of economic uncertainty, many Americans have been stretching every dollar to get by. For the Community Care Share , I decided to write an article on how to make do with less, while still enjoying life. Check out the tips here . 

 A long time ago, I left journalism for a career in marketing and communications. What I've taken with me, though, is a passion for writing and a curiosity for learning more about the people around me and the daily functioning of life overall. In my current role for Community Care Behavioral Health, I oversee a newsletter that features stories about various months (Recovery Month, Mental Health Awareness Month, etc.), news about employees and general 'news you can use' stories. I've featured an article here on Disability Pride Month, which highlights the anniversary of the ADA and celebrates those individuals with disabilities in the workplace. 

Thanks for visiting my blog, where I'll showcase my writing mainly, but also photography and missives from my travels. Enjoy and I welcome your feedback.
