Bio

I studied literature and composition in college and grad school; I then taught freshman composition for a short time before transitioning into the mission field in Central America. The five years I spent as a missionary and non-profit leader profoundly reshaped my worldview. I am passionate about reforming our approach to missions and charity efforts by discussing systemic dysfunctions and concrete alternatives to current common practices. By day, I am a stay-at-home mom helping my little family navigate this difficult time in the world; at nap time and nighttime, I am a memoirist who is almost done with her draft!
