I am an Atlanta based retired independent writer-producer with a focus on social issues and travel. Highlights included working as researcher and editor with the Witness to the Holocaust Project of Emory University and community education specialist on domestic violence issues. For thirty years until retirement in 2021, I served as an emergency public information/media specialist with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and had a sobering assignment in the New York disaster command center of the 2001 September 11 attack. After this, I launched a documentary project exploring culture through the lens of bread to create more understanding among diverse people.
