Well, hey! Nice to meet you — I’m Lessie ♡

Hi! Hello. Welcome to the page where you learn more about me. To begin, I’m a writer (and editor) based on the mountainous side of Maryland, US and I love nothing more than lining up words to create art.

Possibly unsurprisingly, I hold degrees in professional writing, education, and counseling. And while this combination gives me a sharp eye for detail and a feel for feel, degrees are a minor measure of creative ability.

When I’m not working on someone else’s narrative or stringing together my own, I’m working at the intersection of mental health and education, reading, listening to musicals, staying active, planning my next trip, removing pet hair from my clothes, and/or deciding if I should click “Continue to Checkout” while evaluating the contents of my online shopping cart(s).

TL;DR I want to play with words, feel everything, and see the world.

Cheers,

Lessie

Get in touch.

Some more tidbits for the curious —

Food: LOVE it.

I don’t know for sure how many times per week I sigh and say, “I really love food.” It’s at least seven. Basically, cooking and eating is a daily highlight.

Therapy: LOVE it.

I will never cease to be amazed by my journey of figuring out who I am and why. Understanding my origin story is the best thing I have ever done.

Outside: LOVE it.

Sun. Sky. Fresh Air. Green. Beaches. Mountains. Trees. Breezes. Clouds. Downtowns. Walking Paths. Firepits. Decks. Festivals. Need I go on?

Beer: HATE it.

I’ve tried to like beer. I really have! Give me any other beverage and I’m all in! Wine: In. Cider: In. Champ: In. Cocktail: In. Beer: Why would I drink bread?
