Biography
One of the most interesting things about me is that I never learned to ride a bike. But growing up in the desert of Tucson, Ariz., I did learn to ride horses — and a pony named Woody.
While I have been around animals for as long as I can remember, and currently have a family dog named Bisbee, my true passion is writing. I love that words have an impact on everyone who reads them.
After working at the Cholla High newspaper, I was selected as a teen columnist at the Tucson Citizen newspaper and later became a sports news assistant at the Arizona Daily Star newspaper during college.
I graduated Cum Laude in May 2008 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism from the University of Arizona. Throughout college, I worked on the production of a nightly news magazine Arizona Illustrated and also interned at USA Volleyball.
I currently reside in the Oklahoma City, Okla., metro area, after living breifly in Colorado Springs, Colo., where I worked as a media relations and publications intern for the U.S. Olympic Committee.
In my spare time, I design Web sites at Figure Skaters Online for nationally ranked figure skaters including U.S. Champions Evan Lysacek and Johnny Weir. But I never learned to skate.
While there are some common things that I might not have mastered — yet, I pride myself on the more unique skills that I do have.
