Isle Chronicles is also an independent publication dedicated mostly to storytelling and living authentically from a rural island. I aim to foster connection, accountability, and meaningful community growth through the arts.

You can also find me on Substack, where I have a creative practice called Lost and Found Lofi and a style column called the Wayback Closet.

Hi, I’m Hailey! Like the comet.

I’m a nomadic inclined individual raised on a cloudy Pacific Northwest island. I’ve worked in creative and marketing industries around Seattle, Las Vegas, and Austin. Traveling the country as a charter flight attendant, brand ambassador and freelance writer has brought varying stories for both clients and my own narrative. Currently, I work with the Langley Chamber of Commerce, write for Whidbey Life Magazine, and dance with Meander Dance Collective.

In my professional life, I’ve had the privilege of writing across diverse cultural beats, from local politics and technology to the arts. I’m drawn to community-focused projects and independent publications that amplify unique perspectives and foster universality. Whether uncovering a nuanced story or collaborating with like-minded creatives, I strive to bridge the gap between people, develop ideas, make art, and evolve the world from my community. I wanted to start Island Chronicles as a way to produce editorials on our local community members and maybe a personal account here and there:) In my free time I can be found hanging out in a local coffee shop, or in the arts world working in dance, theater, music, or styling.
