Self-discipline & creative collaboration
Managing multiple projects at once is my forte. It has to be. Whether I'm working at my home office or meeting with a team of colleagues, I find I focus most sharply on the task at hand with the confidence that all of my other writing and editing jobs are in order, and everything is copacetic with my clients and coworkers. It's what also affords me the time to enjoy a great sail, hike through the woods, dive into a great book or writing of some creative fiction in my downtime.

Getting to know me
Taking our daysailer Delphina out on the Boston Harbor or navigating Somes Sound in Maine or Provincetown Bay is the best way I've found to recharge my creativity. Having made our home in Cambridge, Mass., on Cape Cod and in the heart of Manhattan two blocks off Times Square, my partner, the playwright Jim Dalglish, and I have settled in Quincy, Massachusetts.
