If you're an independently owned business, a consumer, or a non-profit organization, Local Aware is for you. Find out what it's all about at: www.localaware.com.

As a features writer, my articles about travel, the outdoors, food and wine, and the arts have appeared in regional, national, and international publications. I have a special interest in green travel, soft-adventure travel, recreation, conservation, sustainability and geotourism. My work has appeared in the following publications:

In commercial copywriting, I am a generalist; my work ranges from the creative to the conventional. My portfolio spans everything from promotional and web copy to corporate policy documents. My career background includes journalism, marketing, customer relationship management, and process management.
