Hey, there.
How can I help?
As a lifelong journalist, ​I think the best, most creative work comes from people who love what they do. I enjoy taking the germ of a story idea and helping it evolve into and engaging piece with clean, crisp writing and dynamic packaging.
​
I invite you to explore my site and get to know me through my work, which covers a wide range of topics, including real estate, travel, personal finance and other lifestyle features.

Coming Soon
This Oct. 14 marks the official launch of "Mom & Pop Hardware: A Kansas Girl's Quirky Childhood at My Folks' Competing Stores."
It's the story of how I grew up selling nuts and bolts at my dad’s bustling hardware store on Main Street. That is, unless I was selling nuts and bolts at the competing hardware store right next door. It was owned by my mother.
Inspired by a Wall Street Journal article, the book offers a vivid portrait of growing up the 1970s, a tumultuous time for rural America. But it also demonstrates the resilience of small, tight-knit towns like McPherson.
