I graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 2013 with a degree in English Literature—Creative Writing Concentration.

In my senior year, I was the social media intern at 2060 Digital, where I wrote social media content and took photos for events. Upon graduation, I was hired full time as a Social Media Strategist, where I was responsible for the social media marketing of various companies nationwide.

In April 2014, I accepted the position of Associate Editor at Artists Magazine through F+W Media. I wrote and edited various columns and feature articles for the magazine, as well as updating the website and our social media platforms. I also helped judge our various competitions, including the Annual Art Competition with over 10,000 entries annually. 

I am a freelance writer for Soapbox Cincinnati, Pastel Journal, Watercolor Artist, and VMSD magazine.

I am currently the Editorial and Marketing Assistant for Blue Manatee Press, an independent children’s book publisher.

I’m a lifelong lover of reading and writing. My earliest memories of writing are in third grade, when I wrote a story about the school disappearing, with a follow-up about strawberry milk coming from pink cows.

My favorite authors include: Lauren Groff, Jacqueline Woodson, J.K. Rowling, Lloyd Alexander, Natalie Babbitt, Roald Dahl, and many more.

Favorite books include: Fates and Furies; the Harry Potter series; Another Brooklyn; The Chronicles of Prydain; Another Brooklyn; In The Unlikely Event; Tuck Everlasting; Flowers for Algernon; A Separate Peace; Less; Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald; Shiloh; The Lovely Bones; Erasure; Bastard Out of Carolina; and countless others.
