ABOUT ME
Language has been my forte from an early age. As a child, when I wasn't reading, I was babbling away about what I had recently learned, read, seen or heard. I am innately curious, which bodes well for research, interviewing and storytelling.
Travel feeds my inquisitive nature and fuels my stories. Now, when I'm not writing or playing outdoors, I'm usually plotting my next trip. My goal is to encourage others--especially females--to spend more time exploring.
WHAT I'VE DONE
I started pitching stories in 2012 and have since contributed travel -related content for publications like Snowshoe Magazine , 5280 Magazine , Elevation Outdoors Magazine, Treeline Review and U.S. News & World Report .
In 2022 I authored my first outdoor guidebook, Urban Hikes Denver, with Falcon publishing. Order your copy here at www.amazon.com/Urban-Hikes-Denver-Greatest-Adventures/dp/1493059572
WHAT I DO
My writing experience includes the traditional (reporting, interviews, editing); the modern (blogging, copywriting, hashtags); and the creative (letters, photo essays, toasts).
Most of my professional work focuses on the outdoor recreation industry (destination guides, trip reports, gear reviews, adventure travel) and the tourism/hospitality industry (food & beverage, hotels, luxury vacations, city guides.)
