Wordsmith | Engineering Enthusiast | Architecture Aficionado |

I have always had a desire to educate through the written word. I started as an editor at a national trade magazine for 6 years and continued the past 10 years as an independent reporter for B2B publications covering the AEC sector (latest clips on Muck Rack). I was also a college writing teacher for 18 years. These twin vocations share a singular goal – use writing to increase knowledge.

The name Herringbone Freelance is a tribute to my love of architecture. Herringbone is a geometric tile design used to create intricate floors and walls. This pattern requires precision and finesse, which is exactly how I approach content creation.

Additional nerdy notes:

• My hometown area has a connection to Frank Lloyd Wright, and I have toured 9 sites to date
• I was on staff at the North American Review, the oldest literary publication in the U.S., during my time at the University of Northern Iowa
• All of my cats have professional titles: Director of Global Security, Chief Happiness Officer, and Colleague Resources

When I’m not slinging ink, I’m an avid cook, intrepid explorer of Iowa’s nature areas, champion of historic building preservation (read my blog), lover of classic movies, tea drinker, and bookworm.
