Hello!

I’m Security Director News’ new managing editor, and it will be my pleasure to get to know you and your companies. I’ll be at ASIS next week and hope to meet as many people as I can and learn more about this fascinating industry. I hope you’ll be patient with me while I get my sea legs under me, as we say here in Maine. Your world, your work, your devices, they’re all new to me, but I like to think I’m a quick study.
 
My background is in writing and editing. I’ve worked at newspapers in Florida, Vermont and Maine, and have done freelance work for a number of others, including the Miami Herald. As a journalist I’ve worked with a wide range of topics, from small business to banking to education, local crime and punishment and pretty much everything in between. I’ve also been a book editor, press release producer, ghostwriter and a mom (well, that last one is ongoing.)

Again, I’m excited to be here. Security professionals, I hope to provide you with news and insights from others you can use on the job. I’d love to hear from you, so let’s be in touch. Please feel free to contact me at any time to introduce yourselves and pitch story ideas. I can be reached at (207) 846-0600, ext. 227, or at acanfield@securitydirectornews.com. Let’s chat soon!
