As a freelance writer, I enjoy telling people’s stories from female hockey players to farmers to fallen soldiers. The book nerd in me loves being a trustee on my city library board of directors. Our senior rescue dog loves that my husband and I are DINKS. I love writing about aunthood, and my favourite people call me a cool aunt.
I have an MFA in creative nonfiction writing, and my publication credits include lifestyle articles and female-focused content.
Some past and current freelance clients: Explore, Hockey Alberta, TransAlta, St. Albert Gazette, Pipestone Flyer, and East Central Alberta Review.
