I am an award-winning freelance writer and editor based in the Chicago area. My areas of expertise include family and parenting topics, personal profile features and creative nonfiction (code word for essays.) I also tackle marketing pieces, website writing and blog postings.

Here you can check out samples of my work. If you’re an editor interested in purchasing a piece, I’ve listed my articles that are available for reprint. As a bonus, you can learn a little bit about me.

She meets her deadlines and provides readers with well-researched, well-written stories that matter to their lives."
