Professional Experience

Since pursuing serious freelance work just a few months ago, I've been published in a wide variety of journals, covering everything from the social implications of silencing art and political discourse to how to keep from getting a saddle sore while riding a bicycle and lots in between. Love travel, culture, literary narrative. Always looking to branch out. Fast turn around, rarely need much editing.

What You Always Wanted to Know But Never Asked About Cycling
(Women's Adventure 11/24/2014)
Molly Hurford visits Rose Physical Therapy in Washington, DC to shed some light on staying comfortable and healthy "down there" on the bike, and Peter Glassford wraps up the event with helpful tips on staying active and motivated to meet goals
Maestro Frameworks challenges perceptions on ability and cycling in bike designs
(Pop City Media 12/10/2014)
Michael Brown didn't intend to become a hero for differently-abled cyclists when he took a frame building class and opened his own shop in 2012. But when riders sought him out for a solution, after being turned down bike bike shops, his ingenuity and creative, loving spirit shined through.
The Art of Conflict
