Laura Hilgers

I’m a freelance journalist and content writer in the San Francisco Bay Area, and I've written hundreds of pieces that cover a broad range of business, educational and personal interest topics.

As a journalist, I've written for publications such as The New York Times, Smithsonian Magazine, O:The Oprah Magazine, and CrimeReads, among other publications. I've written on subjects ranging from profiles of artists and activists to opinion pieces on online dating to stories on addiction issues.

As a content writer, I've written for companies such as LinkedIn, YouTube, Schwab, California Closets, RSF Social Finance and Banner Health (in Arizona.) I have a passion for taking complex issues and turning them into compelling stories with a human focus.
