About

I’ve been a professional communicator in the media industry for more years than I really care to think about. My passions are language and the ways human beings connect with and understand each other. I’ve also got an intense curiosity about technology and anything futuristic.

What got me into my current line of work was the unshakeable idea of an electronic newspaper – and that’s an interest that goes back to the mid-1970s.

I spend my days writing sentences that simply and accurately convey big ideas. Some days are more successful than others.

I spend part of my weekends and evenings developing effective ways to teach public relations skills to undergraduates. Some classes are more successful than others.

I spend some of my spare time writing the elusive novel. Only a few days are more successful than others.

Most of my spare time is spent with family and friends. My husband and I have two sons and one ancient cat. We live in the leafy suburbs, where I wish we had a babbling brook in the backyard.
