Get to Know Me

I grew up in Kansas where, contrary to popular belief, I’ve never seen a tornado, never met Dorothy, and can't zap anywhere just by clicking my heels (though I do admit, there's no place like home). 

Though I started my career working in a cemetery (yes, seriously), I later landed in greeting cards and product development as an Editorial Director. These days I freelance, which really just means that I get to do a little of all the types of writing that I love.

I hold a dual degree in Creative Writing and History as well as a minor in Global and International Studies. I’m a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers, and I am the author of one children’s board book, Today and Always, I Love You.

I’m represented by Joyce Sweeney at The Seymour Agency.

Though I tend to write a lot of fact-focused articles, sometimes I write more directly about my own life, family, and experiences. The below pieces will give you glimpse of the person behind the keyboard.

Meet the Team

Every great creative has a team behind them, and I’m no different. Read below to learn a little more about my exceptional coworkers.

  • Senior Director of Scheduling

    Tonks has been with the company since college, and she puts that experience to good use. She knows the work from home schedule like the back of her paw, and she keeps the team going on pace. Tonks also makes sure we take plenty of outside breaks so she can sit in a sunbeam on the screened-in porch.

    She maintains good work-life balance for the team by making sure that work ends precisely on time each day because that is when she gets fed. It is entirely irrelevant if she already had food in her bowl—she is clearly still starving and has been abandoned unless new food is added.

    This applies to our work as well—whether I think her frequent naps on my arms are helpful doesn’t matter. At the end of the day, Tonks knows best.

Black and white Newfoundland dog named Teddy staring soulfully at the camera, his paw closer to us. The photographer has clearly sat on the floor to get a more dramatic perspective.

  • Director of Employee Relations

    Teddy is our newer employee, with eight years under his belt. He grew up during the pandemic, so he’s familiar with the occasional (aka frequent) mental health challenges that his mom and her visitors face.

    Teddy is an expert at intuitively knowing when someone needs a giant cloud hug. He also valiantly presents himself for petting to all visitors just in case they would also like to be cheered up. If they get distracted from their cheering up, he gently reminds them by nudging their hand with his nose until they start petting him again.

    If Teddy is getting petted, hugged, or snuggled, he considers it a job well done.
