About the recognition ↗
I’m a writer and educator based just outside Nashville. My work moves between memoir, children’s literature, and education—but it keeps coming back to the same questions: What shapes us? What do we miss? What changes when we pay closer attention?
In my memoirs, that means making space for the experiences that don’t resolve neatly. In my children’s books, it means noticing the many ways a child can communicate and belong. In education, it means protecting the thinking that makes learning meaningful.
I live on a small farm with my husband and our two sons. Life there continues to shape the stories I tell and the questions I bring into the classroom.
