About
“Beth has that rare ability to write honestly–with piercing accuracy–about all facets of her life. Whether she’s writing about themes large or small (her father’s Alzheimer’s, the best way to stack cans in the pantry), she always gets it exactly right. Oh, yes: She’s also a delight to work with.” — Jim Scott, Co-founder and Editor-in-Chief, Caring.com, January 2012
In 2010, I won an Online Journalism Award in the “Best Online Commentary/Blogging” category for my pseudonymous blog, “Dad Has Dementia.” I also won the 2009 Nickelodeon Parents’ Picks Awards for my (since sold) local blog, “Albuquerque on the Cheap.”
I started my writing career on the other side of the fence, as a PR flack, in 1989. I crossed over to hackdom around 2000 (I thought it might be cool to cover the Y2K apocalypse). I’ve written reported pieces as well as more essayish stuff, like “Dad Has Dementia.” I’ve got solid writing chops, which is probably what matters to you most as an editor.
“I hired Elizabeth to work on feature articles for the magazine I edited. She is a consummate professional. Her writing draws you into the story, no matter what the subject, and she always looks for new angles to explore, creating more depth and substance. Probably best of all, she listens. Because she takes the time to understand an assignment fully, her copy is clean and needs little editing. She never missed a deadline, and was always responsive when I had a question. I highly recommend Elizabeth for your feature writing needs.” –Julie Anne Eason, Editor, April 2008

I’m a member of the Association of Health Care Journalists (AHCJ) and have previously belonged to several nursing professional organizations, including AORN, ASPAN, and ASPSN.
In addition to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing, I hold a degree in creative writing. Let’s creatively combine them in order to bring your readers fresh, relevant information they can put to use today. Just give me a jingle to get me on the story: 505-750-BETH or 505-205-0253.
