Welcome to my Portfolio!

I'm currently the Outreach Coordinator for USA TODAY 10BEST Readers' Choice Awards. 

Prior to my current work for 10BEST, I was their Las Vegas expert. You can see some of that work on the 10BEST site. I wrote about local Las Vegas on my Vegas Girl blog from 2006 through 2021, and recently I've posted content on Medium. When I was doing content writing work, I did a couple of posts for Chapterly about romance writing and writing literary fiction - during that same period, I also wrote white-label/ghostwritten material for businesses and websites. You can visit my LinkedIn profile to read more about my background.

Most of my work before 2008 was in print, so I’ve scanned a large selection of these clips and placed them on this blog. Any of the clips can be enlarged by clicking on them; they are .jpeg files. I've also posted links to the audio clips of recordings I did for KNPR.

Part of my work for NileGuide Las Vegas is still available online - I maintained and publicized the page while it was active. I also wrote a top-rated blog for the page, which is no longer viewable. NileGuide was acquired by 10BEST, which later became a part of USA Today.

To see more of my photography, please visit my blog or my flickr page.

On social media, you can find me on Facebook and Instagram.

Thank you for taking the time to view my work, and please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions.
