Freelance Writer, Musician, and Blogger.
I’m a native Austinite who spends a lot of time writing about dirt.
In 2020, I started blogging about my pandemic life at home, mostly writing about my scrappy little habitat garden growing on the Edward’s Plateau. About a year later, I started an internship in media and public relations for a research company studying the faith lives of young people. My first story was published in November of 2021. I still write about my garden a lot. But now I also write about faith, Gen Z, mental health, pandemic trauma, and hope.
If you like what you see, scroll down and say hi. I’m still learning but I’d love to help you with your next writing project.
