Biography

Hello. My name is Maggie and I have a passion for non-fiction writing.
I love to research, learn about new things, and share what I learn with others. A good deal of my experience outside of TUW has been in the areas of health and education. Among the topics I have learned and written about are:
• best practices to teach the novel,
• teaching chemistry with common household products,
• how to prevent CMV in babies,
• safe driving for senior citizens,
• procedures to determine the usability of a biological safety cabinet,
• clinical decision support tools for electronic health records,
• evidence-based programs to promote community health and safety, and
• how to conduct cognitive interviews.
I have also written on topics that range from statistics to social media storytelling.
Professionally, I’ve had a varied career. I have had my own company and worked for several others: a research company, two cable systems, a TV station, and on Capitol Hill. I was partner in a record company and freelanced as a radio reporter and DJ.
The one thread that ties all of these experiences together is writing.
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Politics and a Master’s in Instructional Design.
I am an avid reader – both fiction and nonfiction. I especially enjoy light romance, mystery, speculative fiction, biography, and popular science.
Theater-going is another passion. I love to spend weekends in NYC checking out the latest shows. While I’m there, there’s also an amazing Japanese stationery/bookstore near Bryant Park where I can browse for hours. And a British bakery in Greenwich Village where you can get “real” fresh scones every morning.
I have loved to travel ever since I spent my Junior Year abroad in England. There’s something so invigorating about being in a place where the ordinary feels new! Your eyes are open to things you have learned not to notice in your everyday life. And people are so kind.
At home, I enjoy having coffee and dining out with friends. I am re-learning the piano, which is a very different experience as an adult. And I have a Covid puppy, a Boykin Spaniel, who keeps me on my toes! We do a lot of walking in the neighborhood and hiking in the woods. She’s a magnet for the children in the neighborhood, too.
I am detail oriented and good with deadlines (you have to be if you work in TV). If the niche is non-fiction, I would love to work with you.

How I'd describe my personality in two sentences

How I'd describe my approach to my work

i approach my work with curiosity and integrity. One of the pleasures of non-fiction writing is learning about new things and so I seek out projects that either introduce intriguing new ideas or offer an opportunity to learn more about more familiar topics.

I approach each project with creativity, organization, versatility, and enthusiasm.
