By day, she's an HR communications specialist, but she spends every other waking minute as a freelance writer and editor for food, travel and lifestyle content. Born in Hawaii and raised in Alaska, she left the coconuts and survival camps behind long ago for a quiet life in the Emerald City with her French husband.
