About My Writing
As both a writer and editor, my work revolves around getting to the real story – how exchanges, events and situations convey nuance and meaning in our experiences.
In my writing, I reflect on snapshots of life as gateways to all that is good, true, and beautiful.
These connections fill my heart and overflow onto the page, rising from my deep belief that there’s more to life than our eyes or judgment can discern at first glance. I write with honesty and simplicity, sharing my heart, observations, and questions to which the reader responds, “Yes, that’s my story, too.”
