About Me

I am a vocalist, marketing specialist, and freelance writer in central Maine. I typically author research material, creative writing, marketing content, Op-eds, and technical pieces, and offer editing services as well. This page features a little of everything, but primarily my personal writing. Which is often about comical, tragic, or mundane everyday happenings; frequently focusing on mental health, social justice, current events, family, and love - the search for, and the loss of.
