The Dangers of Perfect Attendance Awards in K-12 Education -
Are perfect attendance awards intended to help reduce absenteeism an outdated model? Some school leaders think so.
I’m a writer and editor with 4+ years of experience creating content across wellness, lifestyle, education, technology, cybersecurity, mental health, and non-profit sectors. My work spans articles, blogs, campaigns, and web copy—always with a focus on clear voice, flow, and impact.
With strong editorial judgment, I can shape content that’s both engaging and precise, whether refining long-form pieces, sharpening headlines, or polishing social copy. Detail-oriented to a fault, I catch inconsistencies before they go live, while managing multiple deadlines with calm efficiency.
Equally comfortable collaborating or working independently, I’m proactive, communicative, and bring curiosity and energy to every project. A career highlight was leading grant writing at the Crisis Centre of BC, where my work secured over $30,000 for mental health programs—an experience that underscored my ability to write with clarity, care, and purpose.
