I’m a curious, creative person who enjoys playing guitar, hiking, writing, and finding interesting stories in ordinary places. I’m especially fascinated by the hidden lives behind everyday people and places. My latest flash fiction explores the unseen life of a small-town diner dishwasher—the person washing dishes behind the scenes while carrying a whole story of their own. I also have a soft spot for beautifully made crochet, especially pieces created by truly skilled crocheters. I enjoy thoughtful conversations, sharing stories, and discovering what makes different people and places unique.
