As a freelance journalist, I cover business, healthcare, environmental issues, and stories of community interest for Eden Prairie Local News, a non-profit news organization serving the Twin Cities metropolitan area.
Earlier, I reported on the real estate industry for The Minnesota Realtor, an award-winning trade publication covering market trends, business topics, and housing-related social issues. I also wrote about legal matters for The Legal Download, a monthly newsletter for Realtors. Additionally, I wrote a blog for a real estate trade association on home improvement, lawn-and-garden care, and Minnesota living.
