About Me: 
I'm a longtime journalist (23 years!) and a mother of a 15-year-old (gray hairs to prove it). I live near Seattle, Wa with my reporter hubby, three cats, one dog and a bearded dragon. I have a degree in biology and environmental science and run my own freelance environmental writing biz BC Productions. For now, I'm working at local university as a web content director. I'm still trying to figure out how to write for National Geographic someday.
