Give your audience credible, quality content, from someone qualified to write it.
Blog Vitamins – Supplement your content
High-quality blog posts can be time consuming and difficult to write and research. Just like taking a vitamin to boost your physical nutrition, supplement your blog content with guest posts each month. Showcase author credibility with a byline (example: “by Shelly Najjar, MPH, RDN”) and/or short bio (exact wording depends on blog topic).
Blog Trainer – Break through those barriers
Sometimes you just get stuck. If you want to have someone guide you through those challenges and get your blog back on track, you can consult with me to help clarify your blog’s purpose and topics, and create a plan for future posts.

Writing experience
I have a variety of writing experience, including academic work at the college and graduate levels, public health research reports, blog posts, health and wellness reporting, and fiction and poetry. I’ve worked with editors, conducted on-the-street and expert interviews (in-person and via phone and email), and can quickly research scientific topics and translate them for the consumer.
Qualified in the areas of wellness, nutrition, travel, and goal achievement
In addition to being an avid bucket lister, I’ve also worked as a productivity coach and Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.
I have a Master of Public Health in Public Health Nutrition from the University of Washington, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Food Science and Human Nutrition from Washington State University. At WSU, I was also in the Honors College, which focused on writing and communication of all subjects.
Part of my education included over 1200 hours of supervised training in nutrition and experience communicating health information to a variety of people. After graduation, I took a job as a hospital dietitian and used my training and experience to walk with people through lasting behavior change.
Today, I’m a freelance writer and community builder, helping people to move forward toward their goals by connecting them to the information and people they need.
