I am a freelance travel writer based in Seattle whose work has been published in both online and print media. 

My manuscript "A Journey That Changed Lives" took ninth place honors in the Magazine Features category atf the Writer’s Digest Competition, one of the largest writing contests in the nation.  Go Nomad.com recognized the piece I wrote about Laos (see #4 below) as one of the Top 10 travel stories of 2009.

Below are some samples of my published work. To view pictures from my travels, please visit the PHOTO GALLERY
