When I’m not writing for work, I’m deeply entrenched in my own fiction writing—I’m currently writing my debut novel—and the Austin literary community.  Here are just some of the ways I’ve channeled my love of books and writing in my personal life. 

  • Finalist for the Yellow Bird Editors 2014 First Chapter Contest

  • Interned and volunteered with Austin Bat Cave to teach creative writing in K-12 public schools

  • Served as a judge for Texas Book Festival’s 2017 Fresh Ink fiction contest 

  • Moderated the Texas Book Festival 2018 YA panel 

  • Chosen for fiction workshops with Michener Center Director Bret Anthony Johnston and NYT best-selling author Nova Ren Suma
