Writer, travel enthusiast,
and tea connoisseur.

As a long-time fan of all things British, I majored in English literature and history in college. Since that time, I look for any excuse to travel abroad – England, Scotland, Ireland (who are we kidding, I love for any excuse to travel – especially Europe). I’ve been an educator for over thirty years and have looked for reasons to take students abroad – England, France, Italy, Greece – and find some of my greatest joy in watching literature come alive in the places it was originally penned. I hold a doctorate in English education and have been teaching in higher education since 2005. Currently, I’m stepping into the role of author to tell my own stories.

I live in Oklahoma with my husband and doodle doggies, where we are transitioning to empty-nesters. Our grown daughters – and new son-in-law – are close and usually up for a home-cooked meal and a night of board games.
