Editorial Services

During my 25 year career in business communications I have worked in 6 countries and developed a deep awareness of cross cultural issues and sensitivities. I have worked for the United Nations, the US Dept. of State, private schools, universities, international NGOs and a number of private companies. I have formulated communication campaigns of many sorts and helped my clients unify and clarify messaging in myriad forms and situations. Now semi-retired, I am focused on clients with an international, multi-generational audience and progressive messaging across the spectrum of media platforms.
