I’m a professional journalist who has written about health care, parenthood, soap operas and more. In addition to my current gig working from home as a business writer, I also pen the Secondhand News column for the Hyattsville Life & Times. Raised by an art teacher/collector of sidewalk junk for a mother and a writer/relentless do-it-yourselfer for a father, my fate was sealed early on. And my love of DIY, sewing and other crafts was only strengthened with the 2012 purchase of my first house, a 1930s colonial in need of a little TLC, and the births of my two children, June and Skye.
