Let’s work together.

I am a storyteller.

Through words, images, or otherwise, I see the importance of clear and effective storytelling — it’s through stories we connect with others, learn about the world around us, and grow. A story can bring you to tears. It can make you laugh. It can make your brain hurt. It can make you angry. It can inspire you to take action.

Above all, stories make you feel. This is important for any business, cause, or organization — how will you reach people if you can’t connect with them? That’s where I come in. I write. I edit. I help you create meaningful work to inspire, educate, and inform.

I love learning. That’s why I took courses in statistics, biology, physics, philosophy, economics, and politics in university. It’s why I went to journalism school. I didn’t have to choose one thing to study — instead I could learn a bit about everything. My love for learning makes me a highly adaptable editor and writer who produces engaging work, regardless of how well I initially know the topic. You can see work samples on my portfolio page.

Editing

I can edit your blog posts, your book, and your website copy. I am available for copy editing and proofreading.

I also offer proofreading for texts translated from Ukrainian into English. I lived in Ukraine for a year and have some knowledge of the Ukrainian language. Since 2019, I’ve worked with the organization Ukraïner to proofread texts translated from Ukrainian to English.

Blog Posts

I’m available for writing one-time or regular posts for nonprofits, businesses, and media outlets. I am comfortable writing about a range of topics and can break down difficult concepts into meaningful information. Recent work has focused on Ukrainian culture, science, technology, the environment, gardening, indoor plant care, and education.

Features + News Stories

My engaging storytelling style draws readers in, making them feel a part of the story. Maybe they become part of the crowd watching escape artist Dean Gunnarson attempt his most daring stunt at the time, or maybe they come along for the bus ride out to my family’s village in Ukraine.

I have written features, new stories, profiles, and travel stories for magazines in Ukraine and Canada and community newspapers in Manitoba.
