“Kirsten is one of the best writers I've ever worked with. For Hunker, she's created recipes, researched pieces backed by experts, long-form DEI content, and more. She's also our weekend writer who independently pitches, writes, and publishes all of Hunker's weekend content. Kirsten is someone I can depend on in more ways than one. I'm so grateful to know her and edit her beautiful work.”
