About Me

I live in Summerville, Georgia with my husband and five-year-old son. Outside of writing, my hobbies include showing horses and dogs, reading, public speaking, and project management.

My earliest memories include accompanying my family to temple and hearing stories of the plight of my ancestors, most of whom perished during WWII. Childhood visits to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum further cemented both my horror and my interest in the period, particularly their room filled with thousands of pairs of empty shoes. These experiences, combined with continuing antisemitic events around the world, have fueled my belief in the importance of books as a means of ensuring the tragedies suffered during World War II are never forgotten. All it takes for evil to prevail is silence and apathy.

I recently won the April 2022 Atlanta Writers Club flash fiction contest. My nonfiction articles and interviews have appeared in national publications, including Support World Magazine. I graduated from Virginia Tech in 2003 with B.S. degrees in marketing management and business information technology, and received my M.B.A. from Carson-Newman University in 2018. I am currently President of my Toastmasters club, and have experience in the field of project management for 15+ years.
