My storytelling centers around connection, what it means to be human, and the depth and range of the human spirit.
I have worked in the Human Services field my entire career, primarily with neurodivergent individuals and their families. I am a lifelong Midwesterner, born, raised, and raising my own children in rural Wisconsin.
My writing is an act of human service, an offering from one human to another. I write creative nonfiction inspired by years of working with vulnerable children and their families, who live at the mercy of the help they can get in a world that doesn’t always understand them. I also write fiction that zooms in on ordinary moments, to acknowledge and celebrate and dissect the essence of what compels us to keep walking through the world, figuring it out as we go.
