Feature Article Writer

I am an experienced and dedicated wordsmith with a proven track record as a regular contributor to both online and print publications. My writing style is clear, engaging, and tailored to captivate readers while imparting knowledge. I have experience writing for direct marketing, marketing and promotion, branding, fiction and non-fiction, publicity, cited works, recipes, and general lifestyle articles.

With a deep-rooted understanding of herbalism, aromatherapy, hydrosols, and flower essences, I bring a wealth of knowledge to the table. I love making these concepts accessible to readers of all backgrounds and experience levels. I also have hands on practical experience as a clinical herbalist and certified aromatherapist who has worked in disaster relief, free clinics, and humanitarian aid.

Tend Magazine Articles (Digital Magazine)

Tend was an online quarterly magazine of green living, whole foods, sustainable communities, handwork and craft, slow living, nurturing families, and living well. Each issue was more like a book really - all over 125 pages - full of recipes, crafts, patterns, interviews, and projects. I was not only a contributing writer (and photographer), but also the Whole Foods and Herbal Health Editor, which included working and managing other contributors, proofing and editing any articles as needed, and submitting articles for my magazine section on deadline.
