I have been a professional writer for more than a decade, covering many topics from science-based articles to entertainment. I received my degree in English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and concentrated on science courses, particularly astronomy, to round out my education.
My publishing credits include the book Badger Brain Twisters (Nov 2007) and a portion of The Illustrated Encyclopedia of the Universe (July 2001). I worked at Astronomy magazine editing and writing articles and corresponding with scientists and astrophotographers. I also wrote articles for Research Profile magazine, featuring a different scientist and the work he or she was doing in his or her field. Currently, I am writing weekly astronomy blogs for the Sierra Club at Sierra Club Trails.
In addition to writing about science, I create crossword puzzles and other games. My puzzles have appeared in Country Woman magazine, Wisconsin Trails, and numerous newspapers including the Plymouth Review, Independent Register and the Tomahawk Leader. I also write trivia questions for World Tavern Trivia, a game that is played live in taverns and restaurants around the country.
