About

From age seven, when I began penning stories and fell in love with the magic of carbon paper, I knew I would be a writer. After getting my Bachelor’s in English, I spent my 20s editing books (University of Idaho Press and freelance).

But then a funny thing happened: I “accidentally” co-founded a cooking school and ran it for eight years in my home. While my partner taught the classes, I wrote the curriculum content and did all the marketing, including website and email campaigns, PR, and advertising.

In 2012, I converted this experience into a copywriting role at a digital agency, and soon learned that my passion is any writing puts the user first. Since then, my career has shifted from straight marketing copywriting into content design.

I took this photo at Lake Padden, near where I live in Bellingham, Washington, with my husband, kids, dog, and cat.
