I'm a freelance writer based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I report on a range of business topics including management strategy, industry trends, entrepreneurship, and women in business. Too often, business stories can alienate readers with lackluster writing, confusing numbers and meaningless jargon. My goal is to bring the vibrant landscape of commerce and microeconomics to life with clear, colorful, and accurate reporting.
