I am a graduate with a BA in English. I am currently a stay at home mom of three boys, which is the most challenging position I've ever held. In the past I worked for a non-profit organization where my duties included writing and editing grants and community newsletters. I've also received numerous awards and paid for a large portion of college with scholarships I received through writing.

Now I have my own website! It's called You In Style. I created it because I love fashion! But sometimes I feel a little overwhelmed by all the fluff that's out there, so I wanted to make a site for real women to have access to real advice on how to be stylish. I am just a "newbie" in the world of web design, so it's pretty basic, but it's my other baby... check it out and let me know what you think!

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

My first job ...

graduating college and getting married in the same month

My inspiration ...
