“I really enjoyed the trash reduction article by Bethann Merkle. It was just in line with what many in our community are trying to do in our homes and schools. That article really gave me great numbers and information to pass on to other interested parties and highlight the great benefits it can have with little cost.” – J. Nivishuik, Be Active Quebec coordinator
“I am really enjoying the ‘Taste of Heritage’ series. I feel the articles are in touch with real things going on around me, and the writing in the last article made me want to head out to the farm stands even more.” R. Gauthier
Awards
It’s pretty neat to think that telling a story well can actually lead to recognition, not just for the topic covered but for those telling the story. I’ve been recognized numerous times for the caliber of writing I do – for clients and for my own projects.

Focus
I work with scientists and nonprofits to communicate about ecology, natural history, food systems, and sustainability. Specifically, I edit academic manuscripts and popular texts, and also accept assignments to write articles. I can also edit or consult on drafting website copy and presentation scripts.
