About Me:

I write for magazines and newspapers in South Jersey. I've covered everything from murder to media trends to South Jersey landmarks to local politics. If you want to read some of those articles, click on the writing tab above.

While I spend a lot of time writing, I'm also working on a little side project I call "Saving the World".

How? 

I help moms knock it out of the ball park as political candidates. All politics are local, and so I work to get moms the trainings and confidence they need to affect their local communities and thus, you know, save the world. 

A mom and former political candidate myself, I know first-hand the way motherhood lends itself to public office. I also know that raising kids is a lot of work. Believe it or not, the two—candidacy and motherhood—can co-exist.

I know. You can't get enough of me. Right?

In that case, here are a few tidbits about me that weren't mentioned above...

1. Born: 1974. But I don't feel a day over 90.
2. Graduated with a BA in General Arts (!?!?) from Villanova. My minors aren't much better: Theatre and Philosophy. Later I went back to school to become a teacher, which totally didn't last. (The teaching, not the becoming a teacher).
3. I'm a mom. Hardest and best job I've ever had. Bonus: I actually like my kids. A lot. 
4. I'm notoriously clumsy and my husband has, on occasion, asked me to ride my bike on the sidewalk instead of in the street.
5. I once went viral for a photo project I did to promote a book that never got published. The viral nature of it got so crazy that someone made a top ten list regarding the photo project (My Life with Bradley Cooper.)  It totally made my day.
6. People tell me I'm funny. And I might be. But I'm also incredibly serious...the two make strange bedfellows but it works for me. 
7. I live with my amazingly supportive husband Ed, our two children, one dog, and five chickens in New Jersey. ​
