CollapseDescription

My career -- for the first, 15 years -- was in all arenas of journalism, including photography, reporting, editing and finally, start-up publications as editor-in-chief. The last four years I've been in administration; much lower pace, wonderful flexibility, uses all my computer, analytical and communication skills, and affords growth in different areas.

TYPE TITLE URL DESCRIPTION

Book "Time Management" media url This is akin to "Cliff Notes" on proper time management. I actually purchased this for one of my employees, but own a copy myself.
Book "Stress: Living And Working in a Changing World" media url This isn't necessarily or directly related to stress, but moreover on wellness, coping with "situations", emotional, physical and intellectual abilities and building on those in the workplace.
Book "A.P. Stylebook" media url I receive each updated version, as it is the journalist's "Bible". It is what it says -- a stylebook with guidelines on proper word usage, grammar, sentence structure, appropriate communication, proper abbreviations and/or acronyms, etc.
Book "Inner Healing Power" media url "Unleash the Power of Foods" - the subtitle. This book focuses on awareness of what we eat, and how we can improve our quality of life and performance, as well as longevity through proper diet, exercise, and mental reconciliations.
Magazine Fast Company (Magazine + URL) media url A monthly publication which focuses on small, growing or outstanding companies and their success stories, unique branding ideas, and things related to innovative business procedures. It also has an online site.

CollapseResponsibilities

I've been responsible for editing three, national magazines staffed by more than 200 people; was editor-in-chief for a start-up publication (gained seed funding through reputation, as well); have worked in a unique position in insurance, providing assistance to special investigations, including writing their "Best Practices" book -- a guide on how to conduct a fraud investigation. I've made significant impacts in sales while being editor, and strengthened the special investigative unit of national organizations, thereby saving millions in fraudulent claims.
