Born and raised in West Tennessee, I come from a background in creative writing and photography. I have nearly a decade of experience in journalism/photojournalism. I have a fondness for natural light photography, as well as black and white compositions, and landscapes. I'm the proud mother of two amazing kids, and in my spare time I enjoy kayaking with my significant other, reading, photography, cycling, and spending time with my dogs, Nuzzles Peppermint and Shadow "Shady dog" Chandler, and cat, Bijou Fluffybutt.

"A native of Nashville raised partly in rural Clifton, Tennessee, I'm a retired Professor of English. I lived and taught for 10 years at German universities and traveled widely. A connoisseur of music and literature, I find joy in being with family, friends, and animals, reading novels, taking walks, and playing instruments."
