About

I grew up in Orange County, Calif. and moved to San Diego to attend Point Loma Nazarene University, where I studied business marketing and public relations.

After a short stint as a barista/Old Spaghetti Factory server/yoga instructor (ask me for tips on your down dog!), I earned a MSJ in interactive journalism at Medill School of Journalism in Chicago.

Before joining Flud as director of engagement (and in-house journalism scholar), I helped launch culture and politics site Hypervocal.com and was associate editor at Newport Beach Magazine (I still miss my monthly restaurant feature).

Reading has been my love since childhood and writing soon followed. I blog infrequently and do some creative writing on the side. Favorite writers are Donald Miller, Jeannette Walls and Alexandra Robbins.

I live in the North Park neighborhood of San Diego and commute on a 49cc Honda scooter, which gets up to 38 mph on a down hill.
