about me

I’ve been a writer my whole life—interspersing stories alongside catalog clippings as a six-year-old, weaving elaborate character backstories as a teen, and, now, wordsmithing vocationally in the margins of motherhood. I’ve served as editor for both Risen Motherhood and Well-Watered Women, managing editorial calendars and submissions and crafting content to serve women across many seasons of life—from articles to editor’s notes to email series to full-length devotional studies. On top of that, I delight in stewarding others’ words as a freelance editor, where I’m passionate about bringing clarity and beauty to books so they can shine to their full potential (connect with me about a project here!).

My own debut book, Cradled: Christ’s Care for Postpartum Moms, released in May 2026 with P&R Publishing. Drawn from my experiences with loneliness, overwhelm, and postpartum anxiety and depression, this resource comes alongside new moms with the hope of the gospel, lifting their eyes to the One who cares tenderly for them, even as they pour themselves out for their own little ones.

When I’m not playing around with words, I delight in serving the local church through women’s ministry and other volunteer opportunities and trying to keep up with the two feisty littles who call me “Mom.” I plant my roots in the uppermost corner of the PNW, enjoying salty sea air, snowcapped peaks, drizzly days, a vibrant thrifting and foodie culture, and copious mugs of matcha to accompany it all.

I always love making a new friend, so don’t hesitate to pop in and say hello!

a few favorite things:

  • Matcha lattes (with a splash of rose or strawberry when I’m feeling extra fine and fancy)

  • A classic musical that tugs all the heartstrings (From Sound of Music to Les Mis to Phantom, I’m your girl)

  • Decorating our 1940s bungalow (and dreaming of that next perfect place on Zillow)

  • EMMA M. LION (No need to say more. Team Islington forever)

  • Getting happily lost in the aisles of IKEA (you never know what you need until you’re there)

  • The smell of salty sea air (thanks, Mom and Dad, for raising me on an island!)

  • Anything smothered in fresh basil (especially Caprese salad and a good fresh pesto—mwah)

  • Wandering the streets of a new city (but I’ll go back to New York and London annnny old time)

let’s hang.
