Lifestyles/narrative journalist at heart currently covering issues of faith, inequity, social justice and self-identity for USA Today. I'm passionate about human interest, lifestyle- and character-oriented stories that help readers understand big-picture issues. Also avid about food/dining culture and an observer of how we live, all of which I love to write about from an experiential and cultural perspective.My specialties are subcultures, social/cultural change and dynamics, travel, social media, youth/pop culture -- but most of all people, from ordinary folks facing universal challenges and experiences to people on the fringe and all things falling under the circus tent of what Tom Wolfe once termed "the irresistibly lurid carnival of American life." I also wrote about Texas cocktail/spirits culture at www.barmoire.com.Am active in digital media with background in project management, multimedia and supervisory experience; I've practiced journalism at local, national and international levels with reporting in Mexico, Cuba and Iceland.I specialize in telling stories with empathy, flair and imagination. My skills and honors range from breaking news and humor to first-person, short-form and magazine-style writing, and I my heart is on the West Coast. I also have a wicked knowledge of 70s disco, but I never said I was perfect.Specialties: Unveiling and explaining inequities, connecting the dots, narratives

Listed skills include Journalism, Storytelling, Editing, Copy Editing, and 16 others.
