Katelin Walling has been writing about parenting, health, finance, education, family activities, and more for more than 10 years. Prior to freelancing, she worked for NYMetroParents for nearly 10 years, most recently as the Director of Content Management. Katelin graduated from the University of Maine in 2011 and attended the NYU Summer Publishing Institute during the summer of 2011. To unplug in her free time, she can often be found reading, knitting (or general crafting), or whipping up a vegan treat—all with a cup of coffee nearby.
