About me

I live near Seattle with my husband and three daughters. I spend time exploring the area, hiking and biking, gardening, keeping house, and playing with the kids and cats.

I've written for various websites including Suite101 and Examiner and also for print magazines including South Florida Parenting, The Mop Rag, and AIM.

My first daughter's birth story was published in Sheri Menelli's book, Journey Into Motherhood: Inspirational Stories of Natural Birth.

I've also published several pieces of photography in International Library of Photography collections.
