Everyone has something to share. Maybe it's a review of a great movie that slipped under the radar. Maybe it's advice on how to shop with a toddler in tow, or the experience learned through years of throwing children's birthday parties.

When writing at Helium, I regularly contribute to a variety of channels. I have participated in various writing contests and have sold articles through Helium's Marketplace and Stock Content programs.
I am also a member of Helium's Editorial Advisory Board and participate as the Channel Manager for both the Board Games and Card Games subchannels in Hobbies and Games.
