Experience

She frequently looks for ways to branch out and write about new topics, especially those that hold personal interest for her. As a homeowner and creative, she also likes to express herself through DIY projects and in her garden (where she is currently focused on building a native pollinator-friendly habitat). When she's not writing or working on a project, she likes to spend time in the woods with her dogs.
