Here’s my long bio!
(If you want the short bio, go here).
I grew up on a piece of land in Southern Oregon in the 90’s. I was a homeschooled hippie kid and I always knew I wanted to be a writer.
After graduating into the recession, I spent my twenties working in marketing and PR, saving money and investing in rental properties. My goal was always to be able to quit my job and work for myself as a writer. Along the way, I became interested in personal finance and all the ways that women’s lives are shaped by money.
Eventually, I took the leap. Now I split my time between fiction writing, pitching and writing articles and copywriting. I’ve been lucky to write for some of the biggest media platforms, and to work with some really amazing clients who are doing world-changing stuff.
Now I live with my family in Portland, Oregon, where we spend most of our time hiking, biking and playing tennis.
All of my writing stems from feminism.
I write about a wide variety of topics — money, friendship, bodies, climate change, death, anxiety - and I write fiction, reported pieces and nonfiction essays. The one uniting theme in my work is my belief that women are the link between the world we have and the world we want. Through that lens, I find that my writing often touches on power — what it means to be powerless for so many thousands of years and then (for some of us) to get power, but only a little. And only in some contexts. I am endlessly fasinated by how the tiny, subtle ways that sexism shows up differently in the workplace, in the media, in our culture, in our bedrooms, in our parenting, in our language and in the realities of our thinking.
