Blogging

I love sharing knowledge and advice with others to learn about public health, sustainability, and nutrition. I write peer-reviewed articles as well as blog articles for nonprofits, food companies, academic institutions, and more. I also offer services in editing (including developmental as well as copyediting) as well as grant writing.

See below for several examples of my published work. Contact me for a complete list of publications or topics, if desired.

I contributed a blog post about Joel Salatin of Polyface Farm as a farmer hero for a campaign I helped lead in EPA’s Office of Wetlands, Oceans, and Watersheds.

I published a paper in the peer-reviewed student journal at UC Berkeley’s Goldman School of Public Policy (see page 64). It discusses the contribution of livestock production to antibiotic resistance and recommendations for policy solutions.

I wrote an article for Soulful Insights about research and recommendations related to monitoring glycemic index of foods to promote health.
