Hailing from the blue-collar suburbs of Detroit, Heather Rose is proud to be a social worker with a passion for the power of the written word.
Holding a bachelor’s degree in honors psychology and a master’s in social work from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, she has contributed to newspapers, magazines, and websites for over a decade, applying social work competencies to help people in need and address social problems through person-centered storytelling and solution-focused reporting.
With a background as a licensed therapist, sharing evidence-based mental health information using peer reviewed sources is her specialty, as is partnering with nonprofit organizations to tell stories that highlight the important work they contribute to the communities they serve.
Whether she’s writing a poem, an article, or a book, every word counts.
