ABOUT
I'm a Northwest native, storyteller, mountain dweller, naturalist, conservationARTist behind Little Orange Tent Art, and the co-founder of the small but mighty nonprofit, Endless Trails.
I love traipsing remote mountain trails, swimming alpine lakes, leading trail crews with my adventurous dog and my conservationist/outdoor educated husband, learning the names of local flora and fauna, using my words, making art every day, puns, pugs, ponderosas, and alliterative adventure.
Born and raised in the Inland Northwest, Idaho has been home since before I could walk, and so that's where I live, nestled in some of my favorite mountains, with plenty of alpine lakes to swim every chance I get.
I've been in love with words, and the magic of good storytelling for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is my grandmother reading me what became my first three favorite books: Socks for Supper, The Velveteen Rabbit, and The Secret Garden.
I've been writing for fun and for profit since elementary school and junior high, respectively. My aunt gifted me my very first journal when I was in the 5th grade, and I wrote my first play in the 6th grade (an adaptation of an R.L. Stine story that was performed in front of my school). In the 8th grade I won my very first writing contest, $200 cash, and a stuffed D.A.R.E. bear. I've been hooked ever since.
I have a BA in English Literature and extensive experience with technical writing, creative writing, grant-writing, as well as creating unique and engaging copy for an eclectic assortment of websites, companies, authors, and brands. I'm a freelancer who spends her days writing and making art in the mountains. Most recently, I've worked as a writer for the Arizona-based Keep Nature Wild, a freelance Marketing Assistant for Dallas-based independent publisher, BenBella Books, as well as Marketing Manager for a Salt Lake City-based innovation author and Executive Coach.
When I’m not traipsing trails or experimenting with new artistic mediums, I spend my days writing, marketing books, and otherwise putting my previous and extensively varied work history to good use.
When I’m not doing any of that, I’m likely reading as many books as possible, preferably next to an alpine lake.
