Hi, I'm Kayla. It's nice to meet you.

Now here's a little more about me...As a freelance writer I mainly contribute to publications in the Northern Nevada/California area and cover stories about whatever is catching my eye. With 15 years of marketing experience under my belt, I also work with clients to help boost their inbound marketing efforts and create content for blogs, websites, publications, and other marketing materials.

I developed my own website, help manage social media accounts for the Phylmar Group and Lyfe Brands, aside from always looking for my next adventure .

I am also a certified Hubspot Inbound, Content, and Email Marketing Specialist. If you have a project that you need help with, feel free to email me or find me on Upwork.

I'm also excited about co-authoring a book with Stuart Thornton titled Northern California Road Trips out in stores now! It is the perfect companion for a trip around Northern California, spelling out where to go, what to see, and what to do in the state's coastal and inland regions. This comprehensive guide also includes a variety of maps, images,  and information about national parks such as Lassen, Crater Lake, Yosemite, and more. I hope you enjoy reading Northern California Road Trips as much as I enjoyed writing i,t and that you find a place (or a few) that you connect with and will want to go back to :)
