Hi, I'm Michelle Pugle.

I’ve been contributing content to websites for over a decade. My journey began with environmental writing, then expanded to lifestyle and entertainment, followed by health research and news. More recently, I’ve shifted into marketing and communications within higher education.

On this site, you’ll find a select collection of my articles published by leading health platforms such as Healthline, Verywell, Psych Central, and Everyday Health.

You’ll also find evolving reflections on the art of writing and writing in the age of AI — exploring how we tell stories, share truths, and stay human in a rapidly changing digital world.
