I grew up in the world of small business and spent the 1990s studying, volunteering, and working in Russia and Central Asia. As a rural advocate and community activist, I focus on supporting solopreneurs working to build and grow their businesses.
I use my experiences as a full-time self-employed editor and author (since 2005) to examine the art of successful freelancing on Medium. (I also share some of these on Vocal if you prefer that platform.)
