What's good? ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿฝ

I'm a social entrepreneur working at the intersection of youth and workforce development in various capacities โ€“ as a nonprofit leader, public ed consultant, small food business owner โ˜•๏ธ, and coach to other social impact professionals.

I am extremely mission-driven and believe that continuously manufacturing discomfort is essential to being a change agent. I'm also "local-first" and deeply committed to my change work taking place in my home community in the IE.

Food often shows up in my writing and work. I was born into the business and have worked in back-of-the-house environments throughout my life. How food, work, people, and stories collide is a narrative interest of mine.

Writing helps me navigate a myriad of roles and identities โ€“ past, present, public, and private โ€“ to discover unique points of connection and avenues for impact.

The Dry Season: A Memoir of Pleasure in a Year Without Sex

"I hoped that in the short term, giving up sex would free me from the preoccupations of love and romance. Even as a single woman with no children, I craved time. I wanted more time to write, to dance, to think, to sleep, to read, to meditate, to exercise."

Things Become Other Things

"Walking memoir" doesn't do this beautiful book justice. It is really about the inner roads we all travel to find peace with how life, places, and relationships have jostled us around, have betrayed and enriched us, and how deep presence allows us to make sense of it all.
