the good.

the true.

the beautiful.

These are the priorities that shape me as a writer, editor, and thinker. I long to experience and make much of Jesus through words—the One who is truly good and true and beautiful. As I think and interact with the great Word, my imagination is shaped and sparked to use my own humble words for his glory.

Thanks for joining me on the journey!

My debut book:

Cradled

Christ’s Care
for postpartum moms

Set to release with P&R Publishing in May 2026, this book tenderly journeys alongside
postpartum moms in their struggles, pointing them to the sufficient hope of the gospel.
As they hold and care for their little ones, day in and day out, new mamas will be reminded of the faithful Shepherd who holds and cares for them too.
