A BIT ABOUT ME
Originally from Woodsboro, MD, a small rural town in the shadows of Washington D.C., I grew up surrounded by people who didn't understand the agriculture around them. As an active member of 4-H and FFA, I developed a passion for giving harding working agriculturalist a voice.
​
To develop my craft, I attended Oklahoma State University. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in agricultural communications with a minor in animal science in December 2019.
Not one for staying in my own bubble, I love traveling and experiencing new cultures. When I'm not writing, I'm probably planning my next adventure or indulging in one too many true-crime documentaries.
