Hi, I’m Emily.

I’m a Minnesota-based freelance writer who specializes in service journalism about mental health and parenting. I have written for major digital publications, including Health, The New York Times, WIRED, and more. Formerly a mental health researcher, I also hold a master’s degree in psychology. When I’m not writing, I love baking with my three children and long walks without them.
