EDUCATION

 

I'm an independent communications contractor specializing in agricultural writing. I have a broad range of experience in multiple agricultural crops across the United States.

I also have experience in related industries such as horticulture, greenhouse and landscape.

Over the years I have traveled extensively from coast to coast, interviewing and photographing growers, consultants, and researchers for articles and copy destined for print in paper and/or digital formats.
