"The difference between the almost right word and the right word is the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.”
Mark Twain
I spent more than 10 years in the non-profit sector writing content to persuade and inspire people to donate money to worthy causes. I've had the chance to research and write about orca whales, clean water, housing affordability, women and girls' empowerment, healthy living, mental health and more topics than I can list! I've created curriculum for educational projects, researched and wrote course content for middle and high school, and published travel and parenting articles for newspapers and magazines. I take on writing and editing freelance contracts for non-profit, educational and business clients.
Content Creation/Editing
My experience spans the education, non-profit and business sectors, from technology and health to social justice and environmental issues.
My clients include educational publishers, non-profits, technology start-ups, engineering firms and generally amazing individuals. Please contact me for details or samples of educational, non-profit or business content.
Some past/ongoing clients include:
Magazines and Newspapers
A few samples of my travel, outdoor adventure and parenting articles.
Hawaii's Big Island offers underwater tourists a look at manta rays up close
Random Acts of Kindness: An inept attempt at building an outhouse in Guyana turns into a labour of love.
Counting Alligators in the Okefenokee
Horseback Riding in the Argentine Lakes District
I hated talking to strangers - until I had a baby
Parent Time - Taking Turns
