Copywriting and Content Writing
I create engaging and actionable content, including blog posts, professional brand copywriting and content marketing, website pages, newsletters, UX copy, E-mails, social media posts, in-app copy, and more for a range of businesses and brands. I specialize in travel, education, and health and wellness.
App Copy
I was the Content Developer at the Fabulous, a health and wellness app with over 30 million users, for almost five years. I wrote in-app content, emails, social media posts, UX copy, scripts, and blog posts about the science of habit building. I also created content for their new launch, a healthy eating app named Shape.
I collaborated on an educational language-learning app named Mauril for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC/Radio-Canada).

Spring is Blossoming
If you’re visiting Japan, but only staying for a short trip, there is no guarantee that you’ll see cherry blossoms. However, pre-planning and a little research about predicted blooming times in the region you’re visiting should improve your odds. For example, in Okinawa, where the weather is subtropical, cherry blossoms pop out in the middle of January, with peak viewing times in early February.

Warm Up at an Onsen Inn
The macaque monkeys who regularly take to Japan’s natural hot springs with icicles hanging from their fur may do so simply to enjoy a reprieve from the cold winter temperatures. But there’s another intriguing reason these animals have made hot spring bathing part of their routine.
Researchers at the Jigokudani Monkey Park in Joshinetsu Kogen National Park in Nagano prefecture have found that these simians take a steamy dip to benefit from the relaxing properties of the warm mineral-rich water.

Experience the Art of Sake Making at These Breweries in Japan
“Good water makes all the difference,” my guide explains as we tour a sake brewery that uses spring water from a source tapped 656 feet below the ground. At Nakano Sake Brewery in the castle town of Kitsuki, they take that water and combine it with mold and rice, waiting 40 days for it to ferment and brew. Classical music is piped through to the tank room to create the perfect environment — and it certainly works. This 6th generation brewery has won multiple awards for its sake.
Shopping in Shanghai
Shanghai is a modern, vibrant, and wealthy city with a serious shopping addiction. The Shanghainese have a reputation for being glamorous, fashionable lovers of luxury goods.

From the old-world markets to gleaming new malls, there nearly endless shopping options. These are the neighborhoods you should visit.

Education
As a former teacher, I know how to connect with educators and students. I have written for Alumni magazines, Universities, schools and colleges. As well as public education sites like The American Migraine Foundation, and created "how to" guides for Patreon members to level up their businesses.

Tuition-Free Programs are Real
Along with “guilt-free desserts” and finding a coupon for something you were already going to buy, tuition-free college sounds just a little too good to be true.

How Far Would You Go to See a Work of Art?
In search of an elusive modern work of art situated in a remote part of Japan, I traveled for over 22 hours by air, landing in Tokyo and continuing on to Fukuoka airport. There I took a subway ride to Hakata Station where I jumped on the sonic express train to Usa in Ōita Prefecture. Finally, we took a short drive to a lakeside park and began our hike.
