A Rather Unusual Résumé

My professional life has never fit neatly into one category—and that's precisely the point. I hold an MBA in Business Management, bachelor's degrees in Business Management and Human Resources Management, and an associate degree in Legal Studies. I spent three decades working as a specialized paralegal in Corporate, ERISA, FELA, Start-Ups, and contracts.

But my work has also taken me into entertainment, television, publishing, literature, business/venture capitalism, performance, and cultural criticism. I've worked as a developmental editor on a successful historical television production, built businesses in entertainment, published fiction, nonfiction and poetry, created independent literary publications, reviewed books and film, facilitated literary communities, and participated in fellowships, residencies, readings, and performance work.

I've spent a very long time learning how people, stories, businesses, culture, and ideas intersect. That's what I bring to my clients.

A Sip, A Shout Out & A Sentence ...

The literary and cultural publication exploring books, film, short stories, writing, craft, conversation—and the occasional cocktail. Read. Discover. Linger awhile.
