I grew up in Washington state, the youngest of four children, and the only girl. I was a ferocious tomboy, trained by my brothers to keep up in all sports and outdoor activities. My best friends were the plethora of pets that defined my childhood, including a pony, which sparked a life long passion for riding. 

​

I graduated from Stanford University with a B.A. in Anthropology. My first job out of college was with Vogue magazine as an editorial assistant, very Devil Wears Prada. Then I married young and moved to London, where my three children were born. 

​

After eight years in the UK, my then husband and I returned to the Northwest to raise our family, around mountains and water and big trees. After twelve years in Seattle we moved again, this time to Connecticut, where I still reside.

​

My work has appeared online at Huffpost, Midstory Magazine, US Equestrian, Chronicle of the Horse, Grown and Flown, The Plaid Horse, Mothers Always Write, Horse Network, and in several anthologies. I am currently working on a novel.
