As an editor, I’ve worked with writers of all experience levels to guide and craft compelling longform narratives, short reads, profiles, service features and guides, infographic stories, large-scale magazine packages, magazine sections, special issues, and even the occasional nonfiction book. My passion — and specialty — is working with fellow editors, writers and designers to tell the stories that really stick with a reader.
Here, a snapshot of some of my favorite editing projects.

But as prices rise and coffee shops pop up and transformation comes at warp speed, can South Philly hold on to what’s always made it unique? Philadelphia magazine, July 2019
