Writing
My unique perspective reflects an exciting and varied 15-year career, and the topics I write about range from culture and Millennials to economics and leadership. I write with a voice that is rooted in reason but laced with passion. My articles, columns, reports, and blog posts often analyze trends, information, and reactions about social and economic issues facing artists and communities.
