I'm a freelance writer, editor and photographer, or, more simply, a storyteller. I have written for national outlets including AARP, The Boston Globe and the Austin American-Statesman. I spent a year shadowing North Carolina families affected by Alzheimer's for my master's thesis and have contributed reporting to two books. I'm a contributing writer and photographer for Our Town and Senior Times magazines in Gainesville, Florida, where I am based.

A reader and writer of short fiction, I am also currently pursuing an MFA in fiction at Queens University of Charlotte.

I received my master's in journalism from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I was a Roy H. Park fellow, and my bachelor's in English from Harvard University, where I focused on creative writing.

Thanks for stopping by.
