Ally Childress writes practical, informed stories and how-to guides for Family Handyman and Reader’s Digest. An experienced electrician, Ally's beat naturally includes electrical and construction topics. She also tackles cleaning, gardening, technology, bugs and anything else you can throw at her. She has a knack for finding just the right subject matter expert to inform any topic and for breaking down complex subjects for new learners. Unless she's writing or reading, Ally's probably outside with her dogs, bike or in-progress camping van renovation.
