Writer. Photographer. Teacher. Tutor. Adventurer. Roadtripper. Biker. Hiker. Runner. Beer drinker. Sleeper. Concertgoer. Mother. Wife.

I have lived in Hershey, PA, for 26 years, but before that lived in Stockholm, Sweden; Cleveland, Ohio; Burlington, Vt.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; Charlottesville, Va.; Lewistown, Pa.; and I was born and raised in Mifflinburg, Pa. I'm just a small-town girl with the desire to keep on moving.

I started my career as a sports writer, worked in a variety of editing positions, and ended journalism on a sports copy desk. I have worked for an online news site, freelanced edited, tutored, mentored, and taught all levels of English including ESL at the college level. I'm moving on to the next phase of this writing and editing life called writing for myself.  Here you’ll find poems — I want to be a news poet — essays, photos, recipes, and musings on a daily basis. Join me as I try to discover what comes next in my grown-up life.
