About Me

Words are my paintbrush. I've published technical articles and several small blips of fiction. An avid reader since age four, my sister once accused me of reading the words off the cereal box. Now, I can't imagine life without books and writing. With my Kindle in hand, I'm making my way through a long list of indy authors with a few traditionals thrown in for fun. Book reviews, baking tips, bread pictures, knitting, my latest computer meltdown/headache, relevant software reviews, rants about useless products and/or stupid politicians, odes to oolong tea...no topic's off limits.

My interesting, but rarely used education:

  • BA Political Science; UGA 2004
  • BA International Affairs; UGA 2004
  • MA International Commerce and Policy; George Mason 2008
