I grew up in North Carolina. My accent makes appearances from time to time. This both delights and frightens my friends and coworkers.

I completed my undergraduate program at Northwestern University, studying History and Gender Studies. Contrary to popular belief, these are both worthwhile and enjoyable majors. I graduated in 2012 with my Master’s of Science in Leadership from Grand Canyon University.

I live in Arizona and enjoy using the phrase “but it’s a dry heat.” I’m fairly certain that if I wasn’t allergic to dust before, I am now.
