Creative and strategic storyteller

Write – Editor – Creative

I’m an writer, editor, and creative, who enjoys researching, promoting, and writing about complex topics in a way that’s easy to understand. I like connecting and empathizing with others and thinking about the problems they’re facing. Maybe the reader just wants to smile or laugh, or maybe they’re exploring deeper topics, like if their child has autism or anxiety. Throughout my career, I’ve written and promoted content about healthcare topics—like physical therapy, mental health issues, disability, and children’s development—legal issues, home design, construction, music, and fashion.

I recently created an interior design content platform, showcasing beautiful and interesting Minnesota homes, Behind the Shade MN. You can read about what your cool neighbors are up to behind their shades (get it?) and most importantly, get to see their spaces thanks to the photography of Jon Carnes.
