As a Virginia native, there are three things I know for sure: the weather can go through all four seasons in a single day, DC is the closest you’ll get to “big city living,” and Dirty Dancing was actually filmed here and not in New York. (You know, the important stuff.)
More importantly, I know that writing is one of the easiest ways to connect with people — and that’s what I aim to do in every story I report. My work focuses on health, parenting, fitness, nutrition, and cultural wellness trends, with an emphasis on research-backed, expert-informed reporting that feels accessible and useful.
My byline frequently appears on Parents.com, and has also been featured on Fortune Well, POPSUGAR, HuffPost, BuzzFeed, TODAY, Motherly, Elite Daily, Scary Mommy, and more.
A little more about me? I’m a wife to a pretty amazing guy, a mom of three gorgeous (yet chaotic) little girls, and a big-time cuddler to a rescue kitty named Rav (short for Ravenous, because she is).
I’m always open to freelance, contract, and editorial opportunities — feel free to reach out at avance094@gmail.com.
Thanks for stopping by!
