Experience
I have more than ten years of experience writing and editing articles for corporations and top universities — including ghostwriting an Op-Ed for the Washington Post. I grew up in the South, graduated from Duke University, and loved the creative writing classes I took there. Today, I continue to take classes, and I'm active in SCBWI, the 12x12 Challenge, and several critique groups. Collectively, these experiences have taught me the value of embracing feedback and collaborating with others. ​
