Writing & editing

Driven by a desire to inform and empower readers with actionable content, my work often focuses on sustainability, parenting, and wellness topics. I also enjoy telling inspiring stories of local small businesses, nonprofits, and change-makers doing wonderful work in their communities.

My educational background includes a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication and a Master’s Degree in Library and Information Studies (MLIS). That means that I have more than six years of training in how to research, write, organize, and share information—something I love to do.
