Professional Experience
From entertainment to beauty, parenting to fashion, I've been working on developing a well-rounded writing portfolio for the past 12 years in both print and online. While the majority of my editorial experience has resided in the teen demographic, I embrace writing for all ages and on a variety of different topics.
