Professional Experience

Ive never been buried in an avalanche, worn a prosthetic limb, or cycled across Kyrgyzstan -- but I've written articles on each of these subjects. A freelance writer for 14 years, my work shows strong research skills and attention to detail whether crafting a non-fiction article for kids, penning a travel feature, or writing about the outdoors.
