Writing has put entire worlds at my fingertips. I’ve shadowed ballerinas and looked over a man’s shoulder as he tracked a hurricane. I’ve seen the city I grew up in through a foreigner’s eyes.

 

My first job after graduating the University of Miami was managing editor at a start-up magazine on South Beach. I wrote, edited, set up photo shoots and learned about the business side of running a publication. Most of all I learned that my real passion was writing. Putting the intangible into words is the most rewarding part of what I do. Never knowing what’s in store for me next is a pretty good one, too.
