My work as a writer, editor and translator has taken me from Chicago to Buenos Aires to Tokyo and back again. Along the way, I've worked for two major metropolitan newspapers and an heirloom apple orchard. As a freelancer, I've written about ramen for the Washington Post, ice cream for the Los Angeles Times, and crime for the Associated Press. I've edited breaking news stories and long-form feature articles. I've translated web sites and magazine articles, and provided subtitles for television programs on a wide variety of subjects. Now, I'm a digital news editor for ChicagoTribune.com.
