Claim your profileAfter four years as travel editor of the Chicago Tribune, I left that post in 2020 and have been self-employed as a writer and editor since then. Before joining the Tribune, I was TV critic at the Chicago Sun-Times, where I covered a variety of beats before focusing on television. I began my career in daily newspaper journalism at the Daily Herald (Chicago suburbs). I covered local government prior to being promoted to the metro staff, where I focused on consumer affairs. I moved to the features department to write about health — a beat that resulted in my winning several national awards.
