I’ve been a writer my whole life—interspersing stories alongside JCPenney’s catalog clippings as a six-year-old, weaving elaborate character backstories and personality profiles as a teen, and, now, sharing musings on God and his world in short-form article and microblog format (with a longer book project in the hopper as well).
Professionally, I’m also an editor, passionate about bringing clarity and beauty to pieces so they can shine to their full potential and truly connect with a reader’s heart. I managed the editorial calendar, submissions, and article edits at Risen Motherhood for four years and currently delight in stewarding others’ words as a freelance editor (connect with me about a project here!).
My larger roles include being a wife to Adam and mom of two delightful little humans who never fail to surprise me. Together, we call the Pacific Northwest our home, fondly relishing beach walks, mountain views, and bottomless hot bevvies to get us through the rainy season (but TBH, we love it too). We spend our days connecting with church, family, and friends, grateful for this busy little life we lead.
I always love making a new friend, so don’t hesitate to pop in and say hello!
about me
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 Wicked, I’m your girl)
Decorating our 1940s bungalow (and dreaming of that next perfect place on Zillow)
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)
