I have more than 10 years of experience in the field of journalism. I write for a wide range of purposes, from simple social media text to in-depth, technical articles requiring hours of research.
Fresh out of college, I wrote primarily for farmers raising and milking registered dairy cattle. Today, my writing topics cover a much wider swath of the dairy industry and the health and fitness world too, thanks to decades of weight lifting, a personal training certification and a passion for competitive bodybuilding.
I have also written extensively about beekeeping, a hobby I first pursued in 2017 with a single Langstroth hive in my back yard. Today, I pen The Bad Beekeeper and blog posts for Backyard Beekeeping magazine.
While a creative, right-brainer, I am also very organized and strive to create a professional, polished product ON DEADLINE for each and every one of my cherished clients.
