I've been writing for more than 20 years. I hold a bachelor's of arts in English and a bachelor's of science in Journalism, both from CU Boulder.
I started writing as a reporter, and found that the stressful and fast-paced environment wasn't a good match for me.
I shifted into freelancing and have written for various newspapers, magazines, journals, and websites, including The Denver Post and the Oakland Tribune. I also wrote a chapter in the psychology anthology Rebearths: Conversations with a World Ensouled. Currently, I write for Endometriosis.net and Tripadvisor.
I'm working on a memoir about divorce, chronic illness, and coming out as queer and nonbinary. I am currently seeking representation.
Additionally, I write children's picture books from the identities of activist, naturalist, educator, and dreamer, and therefore my books feature stories about the natural world, the LGBTQIA+ community, imagination, dreams, and empowerment. I am actively querying and I participate in the 12x12 writing challenge as a gold member. I belong to a couple of critique groups, and I've attended the Highlights Summer Camp, the Picture Book Summit, Revision Season, and Children's Book Academy.
I've been writing blogs on and off since 2004, both on this site and my tutoring site.
