I started my writing and editing career at Entrepreneur magazine as a copy editor in November 2004. By July 2006, I transitioned to an Associate Editor spot at Entrepreneur.com while the site was starting a redesign. I helped build the new site, creating new content channels and areas, reorganizing 10 year’s worth of articles and working with designers to get everything working well and looking professional. I was also managing freelance writers, updating content channels, writing daily blog posts, creating new content areas and compiling newsletters.

After the redesign was complete, I started taking on new media projects, editing podcasts and producing video for the site. I also started recruiting bloggers to join the Entrepreneur.com Blog Network. Ultimately, I brought 20 new bloggers onboard (see the list here).

The biggest project I had the pleasure to work on and really make my own was WomenEntrepreneur.com—a new site for women entrepreneurs to connect, learn and help each other grow their businesses. I recruited writers and bloggers for the site, created a content plan and editorial calendar, and worked with designers and developers to get the site up and running. Once it went live in May 2007, I managed its day-to-day operations, including its community functions, edited its columns and features, hosted a podcast and wrote a few articles.

I left Entrepreneur Media in November 2007 to travel in Europe, where I have been taking freelance writing, editing and web work, as well as blogging and working on other personal projects. I
lived in Budapest for two months, and London for six months, where I wrote for Londonist.com and Sugarscape.com, and became a community manager and blogger for Workology.com. I spent summer 2008 traveling around the world before returning to LA.

I have been freelancing for a few years now, writing the “Family” column every other week for online marriage magazine Hitched since its launch in June 2006. I have also written features for the site and help in its planning and promotion.

I write three newsletters a year for the Bureau of Jewish Education in Orange County, which I have been doing since January 2006. And I have also done some web and flier copywriting for small businesses and designed WordPress-run websites for businesses like Write-Communications.

My artwork has become less of a focus in the past few years, though I still keep sketchbooks and engage myself with small artistic projects regularly. I paint mostly with acrylics, draw in pen and pencil, and enjoy knitting in my free time. I draw many illustrations for friends as gifts, but would like to do more professionally.
