Melissa L. Kauffman

I'm a print and digital content creator and editor with years of experience editing, writing, creating, people and content management. I've trained under the best editors and digital marketers, plus constantly update my skill set. I believe work should be fun and that great content makes everyone's life better. I love to write about anything and everything, including travel, people, pets and company profiles. I also have a lot of experience with product testing, write-ups, and sponsored content. 

A veteran pet industry journalist, I've covered pets, their people and the industry for 30 years. There’s almost no type of pet service my pets haven’t tried and pet products I haven't tested while working for various magazines and websites, from dog, cat, bird, fish and reptile to small critters. When not working, my husband, three dogs, two parrots and I travel the U.S. in our RV.
