"I will soon forget I have feet"
Take a dive into the many pieces I've written on the outdoors for Explore magazine, BC Outdoors Magazine, Alberta Outdoors Magazine, HikeBikeTravel and beyond!
Plants, Insects and Horticulture
As a plant and insect lover, I've written endless pieces on plant pest management and gardening, including how to identify and deal with thrips, earwigs (eww) and birds on blueberries, the magic of periodical cicadas, and how to grow a huge variety of plants and flowers, such as prairie onion, chocolate mint and mock orange.
As a guest columnist, rotational columnist and feature contributor for GrowerTalks, I wrote about sweet science, disease identification, public knowledge about biological control (including using wasps), having six legs at a career fair, the value of teamwork and beyond.

Inspired by being in the presence of wild things, I've written numerous pieces about wildlife and with natural themes for a variety of publications.
Volunteer Work
Volunteering as a writer for Bees Abroad--a charity dedicated to relieving poverty through beekeeping--has shown me beekeeping can save and change lives. Here are some pieces inspired by some incredible beekeepers.

Beekeeping
I am a beekeeper! So naturally, I write about bees. American Bee Journal, Hobby Farms' Beekeeping 101, and a variety of other magazines (see below) hold my words on roadtripping bees,
adding value to beehive products in Uganda, and the far reaching effects of improved pollination. Please contact for clips!
