As a freelance writer, I pride myself on my ability required to cover a topic with genuine and open curiosity. What has resulted is work with a variety of outlets; areas of expertise include introversion and creativity in the workplace, comedy and pop culture criticism, the intersection of higher education and larger society, trends in the working world, and technology’s role in society.
In addition to these written pieces, I’ve also been afforded the opportunity to appear as an expert or contributor on a number of podcasts. Select appearances are highlighted below.
