Since plunging into full-time freelancing four years ago, I’ve blogged from the Beijing and Vancouver Olympics, road-tripped the back roads of Mississippi and the ice roads of far northern Canada, and gone hunting for wireless internet connections to file stories from the Eastern Caribbean.
I write for newspaper, magazine and online. I have a wide range of interests, subject-wise, but I especially love to write about travel, beer, sports, history, movies, local foods, hiking and outdoor adventure. I’ve done a lot of travel writing: My areas of regional expertise include Alaska and the Yukon, Barbados, Eastern Ontario, Nova Scotia and Northern England. I’ve also spent a fair bit of time in New York (both City and state) and the American South, and am keen to explore these areas more fully in my writing.
I’m currently serving as an associate editor at Up Here and Up Here Business, award-winning sister magazines that cover the Canadian north. It’s a temporary maternity leave fill-in that will last through 2012. I’m also the senior editor of World Hum, where I write occasional blog posts and features. You can find my stories in Reader’s Digest Canada, WestJet’s up! Magazine, the Ottawa Citizen and the rest of the Canwest newspaper chain, and on the web at NationalGeographic.com, Virgin Atlantic’s Vtravelled and across the Matador Network.
I’m available for print and online assignments as well as for copy writing and editing contracts. If you’re in the Yukon, or live outside the territory but have an interest in Yukon history and culture, I’m also available for archival research projects at the Yukon Archives.
