Professional Experience

A current staff writer for a community weekly with a circulation of more than 120,000 and lifestyle blogger on everything from hiking to health foods. I report on local topics including city council meetings and feature writing on the interesting events and people that make Carlsbad and Escondido unique. I have written for a national magazine focused on action sports and a regional magazine focused on the San Diego Art scene. I also have extensive experience working professionally with social media and marketing firms.
