Thanks for visiting my website. I’m a writer and editor with experience at newspapers, magazines, websites and other publications. In addition to being a full-time copy editor based near Portland, Oregon, I do freelance writing and editing.

My most widely shared blog post by far was my January 2025 story about the nightmare of being a trans woman working at a New York Times-owned company.

In quieter times, this website gave me a chance to have some fun, write pieces that don’t otherwise have a home, learn a bit about setting up and maintaining a website, and perhaps share a few things the occasional or frequent visitor might find meaningful or, at least, entertaining. To help you find them, here are some navigation tips.

The site is, and probably always will be, a work in progress. Some days, a comma right there looks good to me. Other days it does not. The fun is, I get to decide. As I continue to add items and work at making navigation easier and more enjoyable, I hope to reward your patience during my website’s evolution.
