I write about North Dakota travel for Delta Sky and AAA Living magazine and showcase local people, places and events for regional magazines and newspapers including Area Woman, The Good Life and High Plains Reader.
I’ve profiled activists and trailblazers for 10thousandcouples.com and I’m the creator of prairiestylefile.com, a travel and lifestyle website that showcases what’s beautiful and what’s next in the Upper Midwest.
Links to some of my favorite stories are included here. More are available upon request.
