Have worked in staff jobs as a reporter and editor in Washington, D.C., Tokyo, Hong Kong, Bangkok and Beijing. Experience reporting on the environment, public policy, tech, social sciences, tourism. Research and analysis for Economist Intelligence Unit and Oxford Business Group. Covered international meetings such as those of the World Bank, American Association for the Advancement of Science, Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, UN Conference on Trade and Development.

An expert copy editor, familiar with AP, APA and Chicago styles.

Extensive experience in rewriting poor translations into English from Japanese, Chinese and Thai.

What else? I'm very interested in digital matters, so I keep up with SEO, analytics, content management systems, HTML, CSS. I worked for a PR firm and a stock exchange, where I did a lot of website work as well as the usual background papers, press releases, media plans, brochures and so on. I have a master's degree in journalism from Northwestern University in the United States.

I speak decent French and Spanish, indecent Thai and Japanese. Vietnam guidebook updater, scuba diver. Intellectual property law is really interesting. Venture capital for digital startups in Southeast Asia is piling up, yet hardly anyone is covering this area--well, not real journalists. Lots of fanboys, though.

Here are two linked travel advisory stories related to the October 2017 funeral of Thai King Bhumibol. They were published in South China Morning Post.
