Well, I've had a pretty interesting life and career. I'm a broad and deep generalist in a world of specialists. I've been an editor and writer, both print and online, for media outlets on both sides of the country, as well as a globally renowned graduate school at one of the world's most prestigious universities. I've also edited books, and written PR copy for nonprofits and small businesses. I host an online radio show and have years of terrestrial radio experience as well. I've written op-ed pieces for The New York Times (online) and the New Haven Register about gender/diversity matters, and participated in a panel discussion on trans matters for an international financial institution. I have my own blog. I edited/mentored writers from 40-year veterans to high school students from a wide range of backgrounds. I was a music writer for 20 years and interviewed so many legendary performers, you'd swear I was a shameless name-dropper. I was once a sportswriter who had the Hartford Whalers as a beat. I've narrated one documentary and appeared in two others. I've sung on tribute albums. And I also participated in one of the most epic games in the history of "Jeopardy!" And one day, I'll finish my book.GOALS: I simply want to use my lifetime of skills in the name of a worthwhile cause and make a decent living doing it. I would also like to leverage my life experiences into more diversity & inclusion speaking for businesses and/or schools. And I'm interested in voiceover work.SPECIALTIES: Telling stories; Editing/headline writing (AP and Chicago styles); writing for print and for blogs (on WordPress); excellent written and verbal communication; knowledge of LGBT issues (especially the T); managing and coaching writers; basic HTML; pagination; photo selection/editing/cropping; coordinating with other departments; planning/organizing/meeting deadlines; collaborating; broadcasting; public speaking; deep knowledge of music; broad general knowledge.https://franoramaworld.wordpress.com/online-portfolio/

Online Radio DjCygnus Radio Feb 2013 - PresentWww.Cygnusradio.ComI'm the host of Franorama 2.0, a music show airing from 1-4 p.m. ET Thursdays on a Connecticut-based online radio station. My music runs the gamut of whatever nooks and crannies and crevices I have in the memory banks of my brain – new talent, Brian Wilson, early punk, garage ('60s to latter-day), Northern soul/Stax/Motown/beach music, the '60s girl group sound, doo-wop, pop from several decades, '70s cheese, old standards, goofball stuff. I like to think of it as my own personal top-40 station from a parallel universe. If it has a heartbeat and sounds good, it belongs.

Writer/EditorFranorama World Feb 2010 - PresentHttp://Franoramaworld.Wordpress.ComI'm the creator of the Wordpress blog Franorama World – the wild, woolly world of someone navigating two humongous life changes at once. (Do not try this at home, even under adult supervision. Even if you're a Gemini like me and feel perfectly qualified to live in two worlds at once.) Like its creator, the blog is a smorgasbord of diversity, from the humorous to the dead-serious, from album and movie reviews to gender matters to unemployment to the occasional Leonard Maltin-style dead-person tribute to the uncategorizable. And she has a lovely personality ...
