Corinne is a writer, editor and lifelong New Yorker with one ear always trained to a good story. She started her career as a "runner" for the New York Daily News, where she chased crime, covered education and City Hall, and turned copy around for three deadlines on the rewrite desk.
She dueled with an Olympic fencer, nabbed her first fake ID at 26 and penned an eyewitness account of an NYPD stop-and-frisk. Her extensive reporting on juvenile justice in the Bronx and Harlem won her two fellowships from John Jay College of Criminal Justice as well as a Newswomen's Club of New York Award for Beat Reporting.
She earned an MFA from Columbia University, where she was awarded a teaching fellowship. Her journalism, essays and fiction have been published in outlets as varied as Forbes, The London Reader and Lakeshore Review. She has written op-eds about jury duty and teaching in nontraditional settings, reported on the murky, unregulated world of life coaches and plumbed her own experience of reporting an incident to the Manhattan Special Victims Unit. She believes stories can be found in unexpected corners, and she's interested in how even the simplest questions can help us challenge and reframe common perceptions.
As a deputy editor at Forbes, she helped shape content by expert contributors. She also designed and led seminars on headlines, ledes, sourcing, attribution and other journalism skills, and she moderated panels on the future of work at conferences such as From Day One, Running Remote and Worktech.
She currently works with senior executives and professionals across industries to help them translate complex ideas into clear, compelling narratives and craft content that’s conversational and voice-driven.
