I'm a former editor for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and former editor of a national agriculture association's newspaper (50K circulation). Today I'm in charge of all corporate communications for that same association. Reading, writing, editing and linguistics are my passions. Because of my professional background, I can help with questions about agriculture and food terms, in particular, as well as environmental and business terms. I've also worked in public relations, so I may be able to help with using language to generate certain desired responses and reactions. I look forward to being part of this online community.
