Professional Experience

I cover architecture and design in every form, from shopping stories to trend reports to house features. It's a dangerous job, as design has become a hobby in addition to my main topical wheelhouse, but that's because I'm so passionate about the topic. With a degree in English and a minor in biology, though, my curiosity takes my interests beyond design to science, lifestyle, family, parenting, beauty, faith, and other topics. I also have a background in copyediting and am nit-picky about punctuation and getting facts correct.
