I’ve been writing professionally for over 10 years, but my passion for words started much earlier. As soon as I could read on my own, I began writing the stories I wanted to read. In third grade, I won first place in a Texas-wide writing competition, and that’s when I realized—I didn’t just love writing, I was good at it. I haven’t stopped since.

Over the years, I experimented with short stories, novels, and poetry before transitioning into journalism. But before launching my formal career, I met and married my best friend, a loadmaster instructor stationed at Travis Air Force Base. Balancing career and military life pushed me to find creative ways to adapt and grow as a writer.

I interned at a publishing company in Berkeley, California, and a magazine in East Texas, where I landed the cover story just one month in. In 2017, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Arkansas’ award-winning School of Journalism and Strategic Media with a degree in journalism (editorial concentration).

After graduation, I worked as publisher and editor-in-chief of Northwest Arkansas Kid’s Directory before joining the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette as an advertorial writer. Soon after, I became the managing editor of South Magazine in Savannah, Georgia, where I led a team of writers and photographers to produce every issue’s editorial content. Managing both print and digital assets at South sparked my interest in marketing, leading me to transition into copywriting.

I wrote for businesses across the U.S.—from military lawyers to dentists—while working at a Savannah-based agency. Later, I joined First Command Financial Services in Fort Worth, Texas, where I spent five years as a senior copywriter, leading global campaigns targeting active-duty military members, reservists, first responders, veterans, and military families.

While at First Command, I continued freelancing, including writing product descriptions and blog content for Cavender’s, a major western retailer. Today, I’m a full-time freelance copywriter, balancing work with raising two young kids.

When I’m not writing, you’ll find me reading, working on fiction, gardening, mountaineering or enjoying time with my family.
