I am a freelance writer.  I have worked as a reporter for Area News Group in  Hudson, NH where I wrote news stories for the towns of Hudson, Litchfield, Pelham, and Windham.  I went hang gliding for the first time last summer, wrote about the experience and got my story Yee Ha! published in U.S Hang Gliding and Paragliding Magazine.  

I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Plymouth State University with a BA in English Writing.  During my time there I wrote for the school newspaper The Clock. I interned at the Christa McAuliffe Planetarium where I collaborated with the executive director to write their first annual report.  I traveled with a team of students to the Dominican Republic on an International Service Trip where I taught and mentored young children.  I held officer positions in Plymouth State's Medieval Society serving both as Vice President and Secretary.  My peers honored me for my dedication to the club by presenting me with a Knighthood Award.  I lead the publicity committee that put out flyers for Plymouth State's annual Medieval Forum.  The club taught me how to make medieval chain maile (a type of armor) which I expanded upon creating chain maile jewelry and new products to be sold at fundraising events.  I taught students, faculty, and visiting professors how to make chain maile during workshops.

In my free time I hike in New Hampshire's White Mountains, and ski their slopes in the winter.  I enjoy bike riding.  I speed along narrow bicycle trails while dodging chipmunks, and cross over creeks on old wooden bridges listening to the clunking sound each plank makes as my tires rush over them.  I go kayaking and white water rafting.  I love adventure whether it is a short walk around the block or a trip to another country.  If adventure is hard to come by I pick up a good book and let it transport me some place new.
