Kristine Meldrum Denholm

As a freelance writer covering family issues, and a former writer for a federal law enforcement agency's DC press office, I've interviewed hundreds of people and written their stories: from a teen mom who placed her baby for adoption to top-knotch psychologists to federal executives to a federal agent whose baby endured dozens of surgeries by the time he was 3. I've taken the technical (think interview with a Ph.D. fire protection engineering/computer modeling) and not so technical yet moving (think interview with a widow from the civil rights era who has been waiting for closure and justice for 45 years) and distilled them into readable articles. I love to write about who someone is, and why it's relevant, and I tell the story that needs to be told. No stranger to deadlines/stress--I've worked during intense crisis incidents (Waco, Oklahoma City.) I'll write the feature articles you need, with a special interest in family, psychological and societal issues.
