About Me

It's been almost a year since I updated my bio so I figured I'd do it now as the snow is falling quietly outside, something I haven't had the pleasure of seeing in a few years. I currently live in Nashville, Tennessee where I'm working on my MFA in Creative Writing for Poetry. I spent years working as an editor in online education and got an MA in documentary work in Santa Cruz in 2009. I'm originally from Texas. My *dream* of all dreams is to work in a non-profit capacity teaching underprivileged youth to use photography and writing to document their own lives. Here's a few things I love:

  • fun honest people capable of openness and adaptation
  • coats (thank you, Tennessee, for feeding this habit)
  • waffles (multi-grain pecan especially)
  • genmaicha tea
  • photography and how it allows me into others' worlds
  • teaching
  • necklaces
  • writing (I wouldn't survive without it)
