Strategic thinker with an entrepreneurial spirit. Never afraid to challenge the status quo. Currently on a mission to help all humans and pets afford the care they deserve via accessible and transparent financing. Proud Texas Ex (McCombs School of Business aficionado)

My love of narrative nonfiction and fascination with the power stories have to connect people has bridged 20 years of cumulative experience as a writer, editor, communications and marketing strategist, PR leader, people manager, and writing instructor. My writing has been published in dozens of literary and news outlets, and in my current role I oversee the strategic direction for communications, marketing, and PR for a 115-person digital services business based in Washington, DC. My second book, Riverine, won the 2014 Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize, was a Kirkus Best Book of 2016, was short-listed for the Vermont Book Award, Indiana Emerging Author Award, the Stanford Library Soroyan International Writing Prize in Nonfiction, and was selected by Oprah.com as a top Powerful Memoir by Powerful Women of 2016. I'm driven by a commitment to promoting equity and equality, and I am always looking for the next opportunity to work behind the scenes to help launch new endeavors that connect and engage people in my local community and across the nation.
