Quirky, creative, and always weird - I strive to be authentically me and help others to do their best.

Born and raised in Kentucky,  I married my high school sweetheart, Sean, and we have one son named Xander.

I graduated with a Bachelors of Arts in English (Literature) and History.  I then returned to get my Masters of Arts in Education – Student Affairs. I also have a second Masters of Arts in Organizational Leadership. I am currently pursuing a graduate certificate in Literacy - Higher Education.

I teach First Year Experience (FYE) full time at our community college, and am an adjunct teaching Organizational Leadership for the university. I write book reviews for local newspaper. I love my job and my career.

I finished my first novel in early 2020, and put it on hold to finish another that meant a lot to me. I wound up completely restarting it from scratch for NaNo 2020, and then finished it April 30th 2021. And, I was rewriting it again when I set it aside and wrote Baked & Brewed which I absolutely love.

I’ve also been working on short stories which follow Callie - a witch who can see and speak with ghosts. I think a novel is there in the future. 

I attend many writing conferences and events through the Writer’s Sanctuary which is run by CJ Redwine and Mary Weber! They are great events, where I have met and created a wonderful writing tribe and learned a lot.  If you wish to learn more about those, see here: https://the-writers-sanctuary.com/
