When I went through the Desire Map process, I realized that "creative" is one of the ways I want to feel most of the time. Writing is how I fuel my creativity and shape and understand my story. I confirmed that my inner GPS was leading me in the right direction when I received an honorable mention in the Writer's Digest Annual Writing Competition.

My essays and articles have been featured in Thrive Global, the Smith College Alumnae Quarterly, and Oregon Humanities. My current work-in-progress is a book-length memoir about how women navigate their conflicting desires to create a memorable life.
