Bio
I shake you warmly by the hand, and welcome you to my site!

Currently a writer, artist, homeschooler, and explorer, I have played many other roles. I’ve managed a restaurant, debated across the country, taught children in Spain, run a handful of student organizations and retreats, served as the Editor/Producer/Citizen Journalist Manager for a nonprofit, sung in choir for many years, volunteered with dozens of organizations and interned with a few, home-schooled a relative, taught CPR and first aid, painted faces, cared for many a pet, tutored college students, and protested a thing or two. I am married to my rugged, Harlequin-hero high school sweetheart, and together we have a very tenacious six-year-old daughter.

I am also back at my alma mater, Southeast Missouri State University, as a graduate student. Aside from my main passions of writing, art, reading, and generally being as ambitious as possible, I love to play with my daughter, learn new things, have date nights with The Husband, and highlight anything within my reach.
