I am a Pushcart-nominated writer who has written lifestyle, environmental, and history pieces for a variety of publications including Oxford American, Washingtonian, Texas Monthly, Halfway Down the Stairs, and Epistemic Literary.

​

   My work has given me the chance to accompany Senator Mark Warner on the campaign trail, tour the Great Dismal Swamp on a fan boat, meet the Soviet Union's Shirley Temple, watch engineers slam a brand new Mini Cooper into a concrete barrier, and witness a septuagenarian author smuggle fresh rolls out of a restaurant in her purse. (I didn’t narc.)

​

    A longtime resident of Virginia, I have a passion for history as well as issues affecting the Mid-Atlantic area, and I enjoy how my work allows me to learn more about both.
