I'm full-time writer, researcher, and editor. My journalism experience focuses on social impact and justice. My magazine writing includes book reviews and author Q&As, pop culture, entertainment, and Christian faith and spirituality. I currently copy-write for a startup with an newsletter audience of over 17,000 subscribers. My research work includes preliminary research, interviewing key informants, and writing a position paper for a nonprofit. I have also edited a volume of personal essays, features, and short stories for an cultural educational grassroots magazine.

I am a confident interviewer who exercises due diligence to ensure accurate reporting. I regularly meet deadlines and I am a flexible enough to make quick turn-arounds for last-minute revisions and time-sensitive work.
