Writing and Publications

Writing & Publications

I write across genres, audiences, and disciplines, from books and media essays to academic scholarship, corporate storytelling, editorial work, and emerging nonfiction.

Across every form, my writing is rooted in the same purpose: to give language to lived experience, create meaning through story, and communicate with clarity, humanity, and integrity.

My work explores identity, embodiment, motherhood, running, culture, memory, institutions, and the stories people and communities preserve, inherit, challenge, and reclaim.


About the Author

Read my Amazon author profile here.


Books

I am the author of several books spanning children’s literature, food, wellness, and family-centered storytelling, including:

  • Candy Around the World
  • Guilt-Free Cupcakes
  • Lunch, by me!
  • A Pet for Emberly
  • Culinary Duct Tape: Greek Yogurt

These works reflect my long-standing interest in accessible storytelling, creativity, food, family, wellness, and writing for broad public audiences.


Media & Public Writing

My writing and media work has appeared across lifestyle, parenting, travel, wellness, corporate, and public-facing platforms, including:

  • Disney Parks Blog
  • planDisney
  • Working Mother
  • Orbitz
  • Charlotte Parent
  • My Carolina Town
  • The Charlotte Observer

This work reflects my ability to write for varied audiences with clarity, warmth, and purpose — translating experience, expertise, and story into accessible public communication.


Academic Publications & Scholarship

My academic writing examines rhetoric, identity, embodiment, gender, culture, motherhood, running, and vernacular meaning-making.

Selected academic publications and scholarly work include:

  • Running as Quiet Activism
  • Digital Rhetoric Collaborative
  • Gender, Place & Culture
  • Contemporary Drug Problems

My scholarship is grounded in the belief that everyday experiences are never merely ordinary. They are sites of meaning, identity, power, resistance, and transformation.


Editorial Experience

I served as Managing Editor for the WAC Journal, a national peer-reviewed journal focused on writing across the curriculum.

I also served as Contributing Editor for QU, Queens University’s literary magazine.

These editorial roles deepened my experience with scholarly publishing, literary production, peer review, academic writing, and the craft of helping writers clarify and strengthen their work.


Current Writing

My current writing is increasingly concerned with story, memory, truth, institutions, embodiment, and the role language plays in making hidden or inherited histories visible.

I am interested in the stories people, families, communities, and institutions tell and the stories they silence, distort, preserve, or reclaim.

Whether I am writing scholarship, public essays, narrative nonfiction, or personal reflection, I return to one central conviction:

Communication should reveal what is true, honor what is human, and build trust through integrity.
