Originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan, I received my Bachelor of Arts in creative writing before moving to Boston to pursue a career in publishing and editorial work. After years of various restaurant jobs, retail positions, and copywriting, I am now settled into life on the East Coast and working toward my Master’s in publishing at Emerson College. When not in class or at work, you can find me cycling, kickboxing, or simply relaxing with a good book and hot cup of tea.
