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

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

In 2012, I converted this experience copy writing role at digital agency, and soon learned that my passion is any writing puts the user first.

I took this photo at Lake Padden, near live in Bellingham, Washington, with my husband, kids, dogs, and cat. During these summer of 2020, I picked up sourdough baking (who didn’t?), paddleboarding, and these growing dahlias.
