Hi! I’m an Austin-based writer and creator of The Shrieking Cactus newsletter, which focuses on overcoming midlife trauma and learning to be less prickly in life.
I’m also a mom, wife, health journalist, and self-described nature geek. My memoir-in-progress, How to Heal Your Cactus, has been named a finalist in both the 2022 and 2023 Writers’ League of Texas Manuscript Contests.
