Since 2014, I've worked as a freelance writer for sites like Bustle, POPSUGAR, and Leafly. For Leafly, I wrote about everything from de-stigmatizing parents who consume cannabis to celebrating 420 on a budget to why survivors of sexual violence are choosing cannabis to heal. In December 2022, I spoke to 11 Missourians about Missouri legalizing recreational cannabis for adults.
