WRITER | EDITOR | BLOGGER

A freelance journalist, editor, blogger, author—I also write fiction and occasionally post my thoughts and observations on my blog, Finally Thriving and Seriously Irritated (soon to be turned into a podcast, @ThrivingAndIrritated streaming on YouTube and more starting March 11, 2026). Little known fact, I’m the self-proclaimed biggest fan of the em dash and have zero thoughts on the serial comma. Originally from the Pacific Northwest, I now call Charlotte, North Carolina home where I live with my husband and semi-sane German Shepherd. I’m also a fledgling yogi and experimental chef and have repurposed a number of articles I wrote as the managing editor for a regional food-focused publication at The Flexitarian Rx.

Check out my sample portfolio for a few published articles, open the “Books” tab learn about the series I’m writing, and the “Blogs” tab for—yea, you guessed it—more info on my blogs.
