RssAwarding-winning journalist who can write on any topic

I am an accomplished and prolific writer for the monthly journal where I work (www.PhysiciansPractice.com). I am ready for something more than simply providing content, which constitutes 90 percent of my current job. I enjoy problem-solving, brain-storming, analysis, and public speaking. Writing is a second career for me -- I am degreed in Computer Science and was a database programmer for years. I would like to take all these skills and put them toward forwarding environmental causes. I would also like to get out of my chair -- sitting for 8-10 hours a day does not work for me. I think working for a nonprofit would fit me well.
