Writer with an easy conversational style and a nerd-like research obsession.
Writing for a living began when folks approached me for writing jobs thanks to my compelling personal blog. For the first few years as a freelancer, all my work was word-of-mouth for clients and corporate blogs. Today, I've ventured into freelancing with media through sites like the Washington Post, Culture: The Last Word on Cheese, Yahoo!, USA Today, Hunker, BizFluent, and more.
Between autumn 2015 and 2019, I lived a personal dream, playing nomad, working remotely while travelling the world. After seeing 25 countries in four years, I returned to Canada. What a change after experiencing the food, culture, and history so many nations.
That nomadic lifestyle drew on two skills which have proven just as indispensible to my writing career: time management and research. I do both with nerd-like obsession and am proud of it.
Topics I love to write about include culture, travel, food, cooking, dining, interior design, DIY, business, and marketing. I also enjoy sociology and history, but from more of a lay perspective. (Yes, I do love the Oxford comma, but I'm fluent in AP Style too.)
