Having visited 19 countries and 30 US states, shes trekked bare-back on elephants in Northern Thailand, ziplined through the cloud forest in Costa Rica, and clinked pints of dark beer in Munich’s Brauhaus. Shes stayed in haunted inns in Kentucky and snorkeled through underground caves in Mexico.

Her work has been published by City Walks iPhone Apps, On Holiday Magazine, Suite101, Ferries to Spain, and Trazzler. Shes also served one year as fiction competition editor for Inkwell Journal, a nationally recognized literary publication.
