About Me

I’m a native New Yorker, who makes the most of my space in a small Upper West Side apartment (that means squeezing things into every nook and cranny). I’m a former Associated Press and USA Today news reporter and author of the parenting resource book, “The Expert Parent” (Pocket Books). When I’m not traveling, I love to write stories about the city and its residents.
