[PHRASES]

Professionally, I’m a free agent with a rich background in marketing, book publishing, and literary events. My passion is in connecting with people and making things happen. Big things. I am always looking for new opportunities, projects, and collaborations. Interested?

I hold a Masters in Book Publishing from Portland State University (yes, it does exist). I was the first intern and author coordinator for Wordstock, the largest book festival in the Pacific Northwest. It was one of the most challenging experiences in my life and I’m proud to say that the festival is running strong in its sixth season.

I burn rubber on the weekends and have a crazy obsession with lifting weights. I’ve been making bobbin lace since I was four years old and someday I will bring handmade lace back into fashion and it will be through intricately designed fingerless lace gloves.

My indulgences are coffee, draft beer, and cake. And I would love to meet you over any of these things, be it virtual or IRL.

I am the happiest when surrounded by stacks and stacks of books and the love of my closest friends. My husband is an aspiring race car driver and a dynamic force in my life.

I love stories and getting lost in the details.
