As a freelance journalist, I have more than 800 publishing credits across 141 print and online publications. I wrote for The Sun Times’ publication The Naperville Sun as a health reporter. I have two books, Family Bucket Lists and Bucket List Living for Moms. And my essays have appeared in several anthologies. Below are samples of some of my parenting articles.

Branding Design
I have been involved in branding since the start of my career as a marketer. The Reluctant Naturalist is a recent rebrand of my own as I switched my personal research and blogging focus.
I also recently led an end-to-end redesign of my employer’s website that included compiling an updated branding style guide.
Email Communications
From Constant Contact to MailChimp to the faith-based email platform Flocknote, I am well-versed in the art of email communications for large and small organizations.
Website Graphics/Communications
In my digital communications role at St. Isaac Jogues, I am responsible for all graphics on the website. In particular, home page slider images are key to communicating important information about upcoming events.
