Raleigh City Guide – Midtown
Raleigh is a great city to write about. Although I’m officially from Toledo, I have called the City of Oaks home for nearly two decades and I’m married to a native. Also, I’ve passed the Are You a (True) Raleighite test. (Which is kind of cheating because I wrote that too…)
The Devil’s in the Details – Cary Magazine
Before writing this story, I knew little to nothing about disc golf, the perfect pandemic sport. With every story I write, I learn and get to to share the joys and passions of others.
Faith – Raleigh Magazine
Some of my most memorable interviews are thanks to Videoscope. Kenny Miller, 60s film star and singer, shared how he helped David Bowie get his start. And ‘Movie Bear Master’ Doug Seus walked me through the precision and passion he brings to his vocation. I still have the voicemail where Doug offered me a job at Vital Ground after reading the article I wrote for him – a compliment that will stick with me forever!
Carolina Parent
Carolina Parent provided me with the greatest working relationship a mom could have. Through the dozens of articles I wrote, I learned about education, crafts, adventures and camps…all while being able to take my kids along for the ride. (And gratuitously using pics of my own kids for stories.) Check out this link for my Carolina Parent author page.
Garth & Trisha in Raleigh
I went in liking a few songs, I came out a huge fan. This story was such a joy to research and write, especially since it included a personal moment with Garth where he wished a video Happy Birthday to a dear friend.
I subscribed to Writer’s Digest long before I attempted to make writing my career. So it was a thrill to not only publish in this magazine, but also to have my work about sensitivity readers chosen for Writer’s Yearbook which showcases the top articles from the year.
Ripple Effect – NC Catholics
As a writer for the communications team for the Diocese of Raleigh, I’ve had the opportunity to write dozens of stories for NC Catholics magazine as well as write and produce web, video and radio content.
