About

I am a Houston-based freelancer and have written for Woman's Day, Parenting, Oxygen, Parents, Fit Pregnancy, Seventeen, Real Health, Planned Parenthood, Pregnancy, Health & Fitness Sports, Career World and ConnectForKids.com, among others. Custom publishing clients have included Penton, Texas Monthly Custom Publishing, Vitality and Citroen Wolf.

Articles I've written on heart disease have earned me a 2008 Francis C. Moore, MD, Medical Journalism Award of Merit, a 2006 National Health Information Award of Merit and a 2005 Francis C. Moore, MD, Medical Journalism Award of Merit.

When I'm not writing articles, interviewing, researching ideas or crafting the perfect query, I can usually be found chasing after my four-year-old son, Darren. Although leisure time is minimal, I try to force myself to take time out to read tons of magazines and books, see the newest horror and thriller movies and catch up on the latest episodes of Law & Order: SVU, The First 48 and Forensic Files.
