I wanna talk about me...

Born in Virginia, I've come back to my roots after five years of wandering up and down the East Coast. From being a barista to editing, writing commercials for television to being a middle school/high school English teacher, there's nothing I'm not willing to try. That includes going to military school, hiking 600 miles of the Appalchian Trail, and playing in the mud with my students!

A graduate of Greensboro College, I recieved the Excellence in English award for my fiction and poetry contributions. In 2007 I graduated from Long Ridge Writers Group's Breaking Into Print class. Currently I'm taking their novel course.

Now, between teaching high schoolers, writing, hiking, kayaking, walking, scrapbooking, basket-making, and having fun with my husband and one year old son, I continue to work on my craft. I am currently hard at work on a YA novel, Gemma Up-Over, as well as some short stories. In my other-other free time, I design webpages!
