Hello there!

I’m a reporter and freelance writer with a passion for research, learning, and a wide range of interests. Additionally, I have training and experience in technical writing, social media marketing, reputation management, and web design.

In my time away from the writer’s desk, I keep myself busy with an array of curiosities and obsessions that fuel my inner drive.

Topics of Expertise:

• Health and Wellness
• Motorcycles (street bike rider for over ten years // skilled in basic motorcycle repairs/mods // adventure riding)
• Tech Industry Insider (work experience as a Global Change Manager for a large tech company)
• University Schooling Abroad (completed Master of Arts program split between Canterbury, U.K., and Paris, France)
• Travel (have visited/lived in 17 countries)
• Football (high school athlete // avid fantasy football player)
• Coffee (experienced barista and CEO of a project to expand a UK coffee company to the U.S.)
• Sustainable, Off-the-Grid Living (6-months working on an sustainable farm in Hawaii // plans to build a “vanlife” van)
