I'm a writer, music journalist, and former special educator with a passion for storytelling that uplifts and informs.

 

After years of working with disadvantaged youth, I transitioned my compassion and insight into a full-time writing career, contributing to leading online publications across music, entertainment, lifestyle, and wellness. My work reflects a deep commitment to community, creativity, and advocacy.

​

I spent several years collaborating with Kurt Cobain’s close friends, Nirvana's management, recording engineers, Seattle "grunge" musicians, and indie artists to spotlight mental health awareness and artistic legacy while crafting an updated biography of the infectious frontman, for charity.

 

When I'm not writing or volunteering, I play guitar, draw, watch horror movies, eat copious amounts of Reese's in a single sitting, and experiment in the kitchen with my husband and son.
