Articles I’ve Written

For the last several months, starting in 2/2011, I’ve split my time between two wonderful publications. I work as an editorial assistant at the Seattle Business Magazine, writing stories that focus on local economic issues and startup companies. Stay tuned as I add more stories from the magazine, as they’re published. Additionally, I work as a category editor for Foodista, an exciting new startup that focuses on food and cooking. My posts look at daily food news, and report on both serious and light-hearted issues as well. Enjoy, and feel free to leave me any comments you may have.
