My job
Writing and editing copy for Auburn Magazine. Got a great story idea? Send it to me!

Hometown
Winfield, Alabama

Education
Uh. That “other school.” (Sorry!) B.A. in journalism and English.

Career
I have spent my career in university magazine work—at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, at Rice University in Houston and, for the past 14 years, at Tulane University in New Orleans. It’s great to be back home!

Family
Two rescued furkids: Tanker, a chow-rottie mix, and Shane, an Irish terrier.

In My “To Read” Stack
“The Stolen Child” by Keith Donohue; “The Tin Roof Blowdown” by James Lee Burke; “The Road” by Cormac McCarthy; and “Lord of the Rings,” which I must read at least every two years.

On My iPod
Imogen Heap; Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer; James Morrison; Johnny Cash; the Blind Boys of Alabama. Can you say “eclectic?”

Secret Hobby
I’m an avid quilter. There’s an AU wallhanging for my office in progress.
