Professional Experience
I am an award-winning freelance journalist, essayist, and copywriter based in Edmonton, Alberta, and hold an MFA in creative writing from the University of British Columbia.
My work has appeared in dozens of newspapers and magazines across North America, including Reader's Digest, Today's Parent, the Globe and Mail, Maclean’s, and Dog Fancy, and I work with diverse copywriting clients in both the US and Canada.
While I've written about practically everything during my 14 years in the biz, I have a special interest in health, science & technology, business, parenting, and education.
