Jan. 1: Happy New Year!
Enjoy summer-like weather, make some resolutions and take in a pep rally or two.

I am an award-winning content editor, writer, journalist, and author with more than 15 years experience in writing for popular online news/feature sites. I began my career with Patch as the editor for the Agoura Hills, Calabasas, and Moorpark sites. More recently, I was the editor for Maria Shriver's Sunday Paper newsletter.
I am also a 15-year veteran of the motion picture industry, having headed the production publicity units on major Hollywood studio movies. Some of my films include "The Fugitive," "My Cousin Vinny," and "Ed Wood." More recently I wrote the press kits for the "IT," "The Karate Kid," and "Pacific Rim."
I hail from New York and graduated from New York University with a B.A. degree. I am the proud mother of Jacob and Mia Rose.
