My topics in print and online magazines include celebrity interviews, blogging, Chicago, community, women issues, and great stories on every day people. This is not the extent of my interests or writing abilities.
My biggest success to date is my interview with the living legend, Dr. Maya Angelou, which was published in St. Louis Magazine on her birthday, April 4, 2012. St. Louis is her hometown.
My second proudest accomplishment was my article, How to Write a Captivating Bio, in Forbes.
