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. If you have a project that you need help with, feel free to email me.

The Best of California State Parks is here! This is my new pride and joy; learn more about it on my homepage.
