Biography
I’m a seasoned technology writer, editor, and researcher with over 15 years of experience writing about system software, cleantech, manufacturing, automation, sustainable packaging, electric vehicles, and consumer packaged goods for various B2B outlets – media sites and businesses. Industries and specialties include a focus on energy, recycling trends in packaged goods – chemical and mechanical recycling – and electric vehicle trends. While the Digital Managing Editor at Automation World magazine, I covered a wide range of manufacturing applications and technologies, including the energy segment under our infrastructure beat. That’s when my passion for all things energy, electric vehicles, and cleantech began.
I cannot think of an area or topic about which I'd refuse to cover or write.
