About Me
Writing is my comfort zone. I write essays, poetry, short stories, and fantasy novels. I feel especially called to write about fear and courage to inspire others with the hope I have been given after struggling with anxiety for most of my life. I’m still growing!
I grew up outside of Nashville, where I was homeschooled and drank out of mason jars before it was cool. I now teach college writing in Nashville, where I live with my husband, dog, and two precious doves. When not writing, I’m usually watching birds with my camera, playing dungeons and dragons, or reading a fantasy novel.
