About

Writer. Editor. Storyteller.

I am a communication professional and published author living in Asheville, NC. I recently stepped back from full-time work to spend more time with my young son, and am excited to start taking on contract and freelance work.

In my most recent role as the Director of University Communication for the Communication and Marketing Department at UNC Asheville, I played a key leadership role in the overall planning, strategy, and implementation of Communication and Marketing efforts and initiatives. Additionally, I wrote feature stories for our website and other publications; served as editor of UNC Asheville Magazine; and supervised our photography, video, and writing team.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication and English, and a Master of Liberal Arts and Sciences with a focus in creative writing and sustainability. My short fiction has been published by Unicorn Press, Story Shares, Gibbs Smith Education, Headwaters, The Great Smokies Review, and Kindred Magazine.

I’m a historical fiction and backyard chicken enthusiast.
