Some stories …

• My work
  I write on many subjects — environment, politics, travel, consumer product reviews, home and health, business, education. And I write in many styles — news, features and opinion, long-form and short-form. I’m experienced working in print and digital (with an understanding of SEO and marketing) and available for freelance work. Connect with me at lisamneff@gmail.com.
• By the bay
  I like to play a game called “Before My Time.” The game involves a lot of imagination and at least a little knowledge.
• Building better habitats
  Dead fish on the shore gets attention — national media devotes coverage, gubernatorial candidates jab and dodge, business owners fret and tourists fear. But when the dead fish are clear and the red tide dissipates, so does concern for the health of our waters.
• ‘Extreme’ labor
  After I wanted to be an architect like Mike Brady in “The Brady Bunch” and before I wanted to be a journalist like Bob Woodward at the Washington Post, I wanted to be a forest ranger. I don’t know how I got the inspiration but I was interested enough in the career path to subscribe to a mail-order course for junior rangers.
• Catching the breeze
  Oct. 1 arrived and I threw open a window to bring in fresh air. Ah, autumn, I thought.
