ABOUT ME/CONTACT

Picture
I am a freelance writer whose work covers a wide range of human-interest issues. My current areas of curiosity are stories on creativity, technology and health, in both writing and social media projects. Understanding place and context are important values in my work. I tell stories through a journalistic lens, but am informed by my background in counseling, mental health, social work, and community advocacy. I also have a passionate interest in the expressive arts– movement, design, art, and music—in fostering emotional resilience, and I am always on the lookout for this narrative thread in daily life. 

​My earlier freelance work from 2007 to 2013 focused on health advocacy and wellness. I have written for Coping with Cancer, American Brain Tumor Association, Post-Polio Health International, and Advance for Occupational Therapy, among others. See my Articles page for  a gallery of my magazine publications. 
​
 I am also a Graphic Artist exploring themes of Positivity, Hope and *Pause* through words, photo imagery,​ and color.
