I'm a wife, mom, writer, reader, teacher, and birder, among other things.

I was first trained as a coach while teaching at an education company where I took on the role of tutoring high school seniors writing their college application essays. I found joy and a passion for hearing students' stories and helping them shape their words into compelling compositions, and coaching seniors remains one of my favorite things to do.

I recently earned my second coaching certification from hope*writers, a supportive community for writers at all stages of the writing process, and am excited to bring my experience to help authors writing books.

A graduate of Duke University, I have work experience in a wide range of settings from non-profits to science labs to government contracts to educational classrooms, all of which involved writing in one form or another. I'm a published author of faith-based devotionals and the aspiring author of a couple of works-in-progress. I'll be writing alongside you!
