Kristen Olsen
A Vancouver-based writer with a penchant for information and a proclivity to research, my writing experience includes website copy for businesses and non-profit organizations, blog posts (as a ghost writer), magazine articles, marketing material and client communications. In 2007 I won a caption contest on a BBC website that documented Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman's 20,000km motorcycle trip. I still get a little giddy thinking that I made Ewan McGregor laugh.I've studied Journalism and hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Creative Writing. I am always inspired by Peanut Buster Parfaits.
