About
I am a writer and communications consultant specializing in helping organizations and artists tell their stories. Since launching my freelance career in 2016, I have worked with a variety of Minnesota organizations including Circle in the Field Media, Merrick Community Services, the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, Minnesota MATEC and Portico Healthnet, as well as several local artists.
My writing has earned me a Loft Mentor Series award in fiction, as well as publication in Gulf Coast Online, Water~Stone Review, Revolver, Juked, and Calyx: A Journal of Art and Literature by Women.
In all areas of work, I balance a keen eye for detail with an intuitive sense of momentum and theme
