    For over a decade, I've worked on assignment as a freelance writer and photographer covering business, entertainment, new media, art, design, travel, food, tech and health.

    Publications I've written for include The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Investor Relations Magazine and popularscience.com.

    As contributing editor and photographer for Bangkok’s Asia Times I've covered business and culture.

    I've produced and directed films on assignment from Post-Newsweek TV and AT&T and have written and directed independent films.

    I produced and edited karenback.com and zZoz.com and hand-coded the websites with HTML.

    In addition, I was hired by New York's Metropolitan Museum where I lectured on American art and co-taught a course I created, English as a Second Language Through Art.
