Hello! I’m Kristin 🙂

Welcome to my mini writing portfolio! Here’s a brief introduction to my life and work:

I am a native English speaker from the United States, but I also speak Turkish and Khowar (Chitrali), a tribal language spoken in northwest Pakistan. I earned a bachelor’s degree in English with a minor in Psychology from the University of Cincinnati, which set the foundation for my decade-long career in editorial work, primarily in health and wellness education.

For over four years, I’ve worked full-time as an editor for Verywell Health, a Dotdash Meredith brand, where I also contribute to Health.com, Verywell Mind, and Verywell Fit (find my bio on Verywell Health here). I’ve enjoyed branching out as a freelance writer, editor, and fact-checker for Men’s Health and Sports Illustrated, where I help ensure accuracy, accessibility, and quality in content that empowers readers.

In 2023, I embarked on one of the most meaningful projects of my life: building a nonprofit, secular library and community center in an underserved community in northwest Pakistan. As the executive director and sole funder, I’ve poured my heart into creating a space that will open doors for the beautiful people of Upper Chitral. The space is set to open in 2025 and will offer multimedia resources, counseling, cultural events, and free health workshops, emphasizing equity for people of all genders, ethnicities, and religious backgrounds.

Health education and equity aren’t just professional interests—they’re deeply personal to me. I’m passionate about creating meaningful change and building a life that reflects my values.

On this website, you’ll find a few articles related to nutrition, one of my favorite subjects to write about! I wrote these pieces to demonstrate to potential partners some of the skills I have developed over the past years, including:

• Breaking down complex medical and scientific concepts into easy-to-understand, reader-friendly content.
• Writing and editing with inclusivity and cultural sensitivity to reach diverse audiences.
• Sourcing and citing accurate, up-to-date information to build trust with readers.
• Using SERP and keyword research to create content that’s optimized without sacrificing quality.
• Combining helpful tips with educational insights to keep content practical and engaging.
• Keeping up with industry trends and adapting strategies to stay ahead of the curve.
• Creating content that supports health equity and resonates with underserved communities.
