The New York Post has called Tripatini, a social network for travel, "Facebook for travelers."

Contributor to Delta Sky, The New York Times, Caribbean Travel & Life, Frommers, Budget Travel Magazine, AAA World Traveller, Diversion, Buckettripper, Pace Custom Publishing, Independent Traveler, and other major media. For several years during this period I also served as second in command for Caribbean Escapes.

Hearst publishing's leisure magazine for physicians covered travel, food, sports, shopping, the arts, etc. In 2002 I gave the publication a redesign and a refocus to attract younger doctors who were value-oriented and more likely to be women and members of minority groups. I created custom and single-sponsor publications, and I worked with fellow Hearst magazine SmartMoney to create a hybrid of the two monthlies: a personal finance magazine for doctors.(FYI, I taught high school social studies for 15 years before becoming a full-time journalist. After arriving at Diversion in 1984 I worked my way up from associate editor to senior editor, executive editor, and then editor-in-chief.
