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