As an established, award-winning journalist and editor with a rich portfolio of published music and lifestyle/wellness material, I’m passionate about delving into the background of a story to deliver insightful, thought-provoking, and engaging news to my audiences.
With eight years of industry experience delivering creative digital and print feature articles, news reports, and content management, I am also a skilled social media storyteller with SEO expertise. My content has been featured in Yoga Journal, The Huffington Post, Elite Daily, Witch Way Magazine, and more. I have demonstrated strength in website design, multimedia editing, event planning, marketing, and public relations. A prolific freelance writer, editor, and blogger, I oversee the strategic planning of editorial content for the online music and culture magazine Renegade PNW as well as The Local Mystic blog. Additionally, I'm a music journalist freelancer for River Beats Dance and Gray Area.
