I am a freelance writer living in the Pacific Northwest. I have always loved writing, my favorite topics are fitness, nutrition, parenting, hiking, traveling and so much more. My work has appeared in a variety of print and online publications. In addition to Suite 101, I also write for Examiner, where I am the Portland Fitness Examiner.
I hold degrees in psychology and exercise science, and am certified as a holistic nutrition consultant. I was a personal trainer for many years, and have been involved in outdoor activities all of my life. I have completed marathons, shorter runs, long cycling trips, and love to hike as well.
Reading is a favorite pastime, as is spending time with my husband, two young daughters, and our dog. I love exploring the outdoors with my girls, teaching them about the world around them.
