About me
From local reporting to legal content.
I’m a Michigan writer and editor whose experience spans local journalism, legal content, copy editing and digital publishing.
At the Soo Evening News, I covered breaking news, local government, education, business and community issues in Sault Ste. Marie. At Michigan Legal Center, I research, write, edit and fact-check long-form legal and marketing content.
The subject matter changes, but the approach stays consistent: understand the material, verify the details and make the finished piece clear and useful.
