I'm a writer, recovering restaurant worker, and small-town girl with a debut novel currently in my developmental editor's hands. I have several more stories already in progress.

I’ve held every position imaginable in a restaurant; my favorite place was either behind the line or out in front of guests. Weird, right? These days I'm a Certified Beer Judge, having judged competitions across the US and Brasil; Belgium is next! When I'm not writing or beer judging, you'll find me in the mountains, petting a cat, or watching a women's basketball game.

My dream is simple: to see my book on a shelf someday. Maybe yours!
