I write, it’s what I do, and what I love to do. Writing for me provides the space to express myself, be heard, and the opportunity to flex my creative muscles while providing a forum for connecting with people in a real way around the issues that motivate and drive me.
I have written and have the range to write authoritatively on formal, research based, policy driven articles as well as anecdotal, experiential, and life lesson articles. There is no subject or theme I find taboo and I love a challenge.
Please see some samples of my work below. Let’s work together.
