I wear many hats. A sun hat for chasing the kids around the garden, a stocking cap for writing in the winter, and no hat, just my curls, for Zoom meeting with my writing and editing clients. Whatever hat I’m wearing, I like to be present, alert to the opportunities and needs of what is growing up around me.

I help clients with every stage of writing — generating ideas, outlining, researching, writing and editing. If you have a book that needs editing or you are a thought-leader who wants to share your expertise with well-written articles, I can help you complete your projects. Contact me if you have a project and let’s find out if we’d make a good team. I have experience working with nonprofits and fundraising, content writing for health-tech companies and design and leadership consultancies. Whatever the project, I know that understanding my audience is key to creating impactful writing. I am well-versed in AP, APA, and MLA style guides.

I am a co-founder of Gathering Ground, a nonprofit dedicated to connecting people to the environment. I run Hoot Blossom Farm with my husband on Washington Island, WI. And I am a board member of Write On, Door County, a nonprofit dedicated to inspiring people to write and share their stories.  I have my PhD from UW-Milwaukee in English and MFA from Indiana University.
