    I'm a nationally published freelance writer who specializes in using people's experiences to illuminate trends and issues--in other words, I put a human face on every piece I write, whether that face is the client or a source. I also enjoy writing stories that provide simple ways to improve one's life. Often, that comes out in my stories on health, housing, employment and pop culture.
