About me
I've been a writing tutor, a news monitor, a graphic designer, a feature writer for a women's magazine, and an associate editor for a literary magazine. I currently work in science communication and public engagement at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In early 2015, I began consistently writing fiction, something I'd always wanted to do. When not writing or working, I spend my time being a mom, cooking, traveling, stalking the shelves at my local library, subscribing to way too many streaming services, and attempting arts and crafts of all kinds. I live in Madison, Wisconsin, with my husband Mike, two crazy boys, three parakeets, and one goofy Australian Shepherd named Confetti.
