As a writer comfortable working in both long and short form, I can compress a student story into a 100-word blurb with the same care and attention that it takes to produce a 1,500-word feature article. I love interviewing subjects and crafting articles which tell a great story, and because of my personal life as a poet, I'm especially enthusiastic about titles, taglines and short copy.
Here's a few of the feature articles I've written for magazines and blogs that have made me especially proud:
