It’s me. I’m the writer on this wall. I’ve been having my way with words since 1993.
I started writing professionally while I was still a college student. I’m a wife, mother, foodie, artist, news junkie and recovering journalist.
I’ve worked in higher education communications since 2016 at my alma mater, Fresno State. My professional writing work can be found at Fresno State News.
Before, I was a print journalist with The Fresno Bee for almost 19 years. When that part of my professional career ended, I pivoted to a different direction.
I’m active with my church, Community United Church of Christ, an inclusive and progressive Christian church in Fresno, California.
