I am a freelance travel writer and content creator based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
I am a freelance travel writer, content creator, and digital strategist based in Minneapolis, MN. My passion for sustainable travel and storytelling began after a life-changing trip to Nepal in 2010 where I witnessed the lack of infrastructure, education, healthcare, and opportunity resulting in extreme poverty. The plight of the people I met compelled me to join a growing movement of dedicated journalists, content creators, and humanitarians striving to raise awareness, funds, and impact change fueled by the collective power of our online presence and voice.
For the past 15 years, I have worked with a variety of nonprofits and social impact organizations sharing their stories on my blog Thirdeyemom: Traveling the World and Doing Good which focuses on sustainable, adventure travel and social good.
I recently dove into freelance journalism and have been published in National Geographic, BBC, Toronto Star, and more. My portfolio can be found here.
I also work as the Content Editor for GLP Films, a mission-driven content marketing agency that works with sustainable brands and destinations to help tell their stories.
