I was raised in Frederick, MD by two God-loving parents who taught me the value of reading at an early age. I grew up writing short stories and poems and reading mystery and thriller novels by reknowned authors. After being diagnosed with depression at 14, I developed an interest in nonfiction and used my experience living in psychiatric hospitals and residential treatment centers to guide my writing.

My early adulthood was a mixture of learning and hardship. I studied Journalism at Ashford University and Creative Writing at Southern New Hampshire University while gaining tremendous insight into my personal battle with mental illness. After experiencing a long depressive episode, I published a collection of articles on mental health, addiction, and self-improvement and went on to to promote mental health awareness, literacy, and empowerment through my writing.

While honing my writing skills, I've overcome childhood trauma and learned to battle intrusive thoughts. I've ghostwritten hundreds of articles for companies that teach readers how to solve problems, from short, advice-based posts, to full-length explainers and guides. In 2017, I moved to Silver Spring, MD to write content for businesses and further my writing career.

I am dedicated to writing that reduces mental illness stigma and increases literacy of mental health subjects. I aim to work with companies that provide mental health services to clients while helping to eliminate myths and misconceptions about mental illness.

I'm willing to understand the experiences of people living with mental health disorders from their perspective. 

I am driven by big picture views that motivate me to write for a greater cause. 

I believe that people living with mental health disorders can succeed and live their best lives. 

I believe in the power of consistent, quality writing that serves to help me improve and better help others

I provide accurate, researched information and conduct deep, relevant reporting. 

Research shows mental health Web content is one of the best ways to advocate for those living with a mental illness. My writing enhances your organization's online presence. I only write informative, truly entertaining stories.

Publishing informative pieces on mental health topics helps to raise awareness about the importance of living well with mental health disorders. My writing is researched, accurate, and presentable and helps to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health. 

My writing helps clients of mental health organizations feel more welcomed, included, and guided through the recovery process. Hiring me as a freelance writer means your clients will continue treatment with sharp minds that are attentive to both recovery and self-improvement.
