About

Are you looking for a professional who is curious and kind to write textured, place-based stories that seek out goodness? As a freelance journalist, content writer, and author, I have a knack for connecting with a wide range of people and a head for research that I use to craft profiles with sensitivity and tales of transformative impact which celebrate small places, underappreciated people, and unheralded solutions. My work has spanned a feature article about how the Museum of the Cherokee People is serving their own people first, case studies on members of a rural housing nonprofit network, and a webpage sharing successes from a 15-year-old land conservation fund. I leverage my decade of work in the nonprofit sector and years of experience writing for colleges, universities, and nonprofits to suss out the narrative arc of the story that best articulates the impact of your work. My interests lie in the realm of philanthropy, higher education, arts + culture, and the outdoors, often from a rural or Appalachian perspective. I have experience writing features, profiles, news stories, case studies, and web content. Some of my favorite interviews? An Affrilachian poet, Santa Claus, a shark paleontologist, author Barbara Kingsolver, a paralympian, and a ''parent'' at the library's teddy bear sleepover.
