Trees shouldn't die for bad writing.
A freelance writer with an editor's eye, I'm willing to traverse across topics and terrain to capture exciting stories.
I have extensive experience as a magazine writer, covering people and places big and small - including legendary Canadians Douglas Coupland, Gordon Lightfoot and Ron Joyce.
As a copywriter, I create strategic and engaging content for corporate and non-profit clients.
Based in Victoria, British Columbia, I love to cover Pacific Northwest stories and work with companies on Vancouver Island and in Vancouver, Seattle and the Pacific Northwest.
