About

Writing is my passion, nursing is my profession, and I am so fortunate to have combined the two into a dream career.

I’ve thought of myself as a writer since I won a young authors contest in the first grade with a story about being lost in the woods. I proceeded to wander in the metaphorical forest of healthcare as a nurse, gaining skills along the way, until I returned to my original love of writing with a fresh perspective.

This new path is more rich and rewarding than I could’ve predicted. Outside of writing marketing and healthcare copy, I have been a community columnist for my local paper for over five years, I hosted and produced a year-long podcast on the topic of young adult cancer that was featured on NPR, and I saw two of my poems published in a magazine. More recently, I helped an author launch her fourth book into the world, produced my church’s annual podcast series, and ghostwrote a local legend’s memoir (publication pending).

When I’m not writing, you can find me in the kitchen baking something chocolatey or reading on the shores of nearby Lake Michigan with my husband, daughter, and rescue mutt.
