Who I am

I'm a full-time journalist turned work-at-home mom to four sweet kids: Joseph, Asher, Eliza, and Abram.

With a degree in magazine journalism from Drake University, my work has appeared on BHG.com, Yahoo Shine, and countless newspapers across the state of Iowa, including The Des Moines Register.

​I frequently shares glimpses of chaos on Instagram, my micro-blogging drug of choice.

My Family

I'm hitched to a shaggy-haired pastor and together we live in Des Moines, Iowa, where we hope to live a story worth sharing.

Joseph joined our family in 2011 via international adoption from Nigeria. Asher entered the world the old-fashioned way in 2013. Eliza arrived in 2015 via domestic special needs adoption and I gave birth to Abram soon after in 2016. (Yep, that's four kids in five years!)
