​​I am the mother of three, Concord University alumna, part-time pharmacy technician at Walmart, a weekend library staff worker at Concord University, and a content writer for Cloudy Tea. I have self-published two books - In Death There is Life, a YA fiction piece, and A Day at The Fire Department, a children's informative picture-book and am always working on other novels. I love to write as it allows me to live vicariously through my characters in a world that is of my imagining. I participated as a contributing writer for Concord University's newspaper, The Concordian, where I was able to explore and improve my journalistic skills by reporting on a variety of subjects. I find that I have a natural interest in opinion and profile stories but there's this strange curiosity about certain political aspects despite my not liking politics. My goal in journalism is to give hope, report the good news, and remind people that we are all just doing the best we can in this life. I run a blog, Coffee Dribble on WordPress. The topics of my blog vary widely, from finding a baby rabbit to government shutdown to mommy moments. Pretty much the blog is an extension of my journalistic goals but in a more creative format. In addition to writing, I enjoy photography, hiking, and spending time with my family.
