Hello!

I’m Carolyn—an experienced, versatile content and marketing writer based in Portland, Oregon. I specialize in writing about kids and health and wellness.

I love to put my empathetic nature to good use through writing by focusing on people. A dedicated teacher who helps kids name big feelings, a preschool cook whose secret ingredient is love, a military mom who embraces mindfulness – these are just a handful of the human stories I’ve been honored to tell over the past four years as a freelance content and marketing writer for KinderCare Education.

I value bringing a true human connection to any brand or project I work on, or to any organization and team I work with. While people and their unique stories are my favorite topic to write about, I have years of experience writing about fashion and a few months of experience writing about dog health and wellness, to name just a few other examples.

I take breaks from writing now and then to connect with people in other ways, mostly kids. I spent a year teaching English at juvenile hall, and another year running an after-school reading program for low-income kids. Most recently, I worked as a tutor for a young girl facing the challenge of dyslexia.

Currently in quarantine, I’m facilitating 30-minute yoga classes for a group of friends. (I’ve completed a 200-hour yoga teacher-training program.)

I live in SE Portland with my husband, Philip, our son, Silas, and our two cats, Sensi and Lulu.
