Kimberly Henrickson
Nice to meet you!
I'm a versatile freelancer always looking for fascinating subjects to dive into. I love learning something new! Within writing, I am especially passionate about investigative reporting & solutions journalism. My writing typically focuses on health, science, culture and the environment.
​
Outside of writing, I love music, pop culture, literature and enjoying the outdoors. A native Midwesterner, I am currently based in Chicago.
