I am Managing Editor in the Languages & Culture channel, and Contributing Editor in other channels at Brighthub.com. I am interested in both non fiction and fiction writing. An ongoing interest of mine is the impact of technology on society. I believe that the Internet has completely changed the world we live in at a pace never before seen in recorded history. This change is taking place on a global level. A worldwide culture is evolving at unprecedented speeds. I read vociferously, with an emphasis on science fiction, but I enjoy other types of fiction as well. I read non fiction on a wide variety of subjects: including current trends in medicine, technology, politics, and culture. I also read history and political philosophy. I tend to throughly research any subject that catches my attention. My husband is a research scientist. I have two children in high school. I live in the city, but want to move to the country. I enjoy writing, crazy quilting, sewing, beading, knitting, Japanese Manga and Anime, and TaeKwonDo.
B.A. in Political Philosopy from St. Lawrence University. Additional courses in biology, chemistry, anatomy and physiology, and EMT training at Schenectady County Community College.

While there: I edited a weekly department status report for two years, created procedure analysis reports for the HMO regions and Third Party Administration groups, researched and reported on individual physician patterns of care, proofed and edited other departmental reports, wrote departmental policy memos, and researched for reports for the department director. I have consulted for: analysis of technical documentation for a Systems Analyst contractor, editing reports and documentation material for a Systems Analyst contractor. I published, wrote and edited a monthly newsletter for a local special interest group for two years. I have written a young adult science fiction novel (unpublished): a learning experience in research, writing and editing.
