Current Role
As a Senior Content Specialist for Dumpsters.com, I'm the company’s resident DIY and construction writer, specializing in outdoor projects and home improvement while also dabbling in environmental posts. I’ve worked with industry leaders such as State Farm, FEMA, Fiskars, Pennington, AARP, the American Kennel Club, NARI and the Lean Construction Institute to produce impactful content that readers can rely on. My work has been referenced by influential publications such as Parade, Reader's Digest and the Philadelphia Inquirer, and I've been interviewed and quoted by BobVila.com.
Past Experience
After a 10-year newspaper career with multiple AP and OPSWA awards, I chose to move my talents to the waste removal industry where I could apply my passion for writing and combine it with the ability to help people.
Outside of Work
When I'm not writing, I like to work on projects around my home or spend time outside playing with my three kids and dog.
