About
I have earned a living as a writer since 2005, building my career on both sides of the editorial-marketing divide. For example, I’ve written for magazines and journals, including Harvard Review. But I have also delivered written content to clients including Target, the University of Minnesota, and Francis Ford Coppola’s Zoetrope: All-Story.
Professional highlights aside, I drive a green minivan and live near a small lake with my husband, three kids, and two dogs. I like to read good books, drink good beer, and have good people over for dinner.
