Heather Chin’s Summary

I am a freelance writer focused on lifestyle health features, parenting and family health, medical studies, education, eco news, nutrition and sustainability issues.

Internships have provided lessons in how media and consumer relate and in balancing truth and voice. Graduate studies have forced me out of my comfort zone and provided mentoring, practice, and rigorous expectations to strengthen skills.

I aim to be a writer, author, storyteller, truth seeker, and messenger of information for better education, awareness, discussion and community.
