Education/Experience (optional):
Currently a writer, artist, and freelance explorer, I have played many other roles. I’ve managed a restaurant, debated across the country, taught children in Spain, run a handful of student organizations and retreats, served as the Editor/Producer/Citizen Journalist Manager for a nonprofit, sung in choir for over a decade, volunteered with dozens of organizations and interned with a few, home-schooled a relative, taught CPR and first aid, painted faces, cared for many a pet, tutored college students, and protested a thing or two.
Affiliations:
I have either interned, volunteered with, or supported Jobs with Justice, NARAL, MoveOn, YouthNoise, I Could Be, In 2 Books, Planned Parenthood, Defenders of Wildlife, Sierra Club, Greenpeace, World Wildlife Fund, Oceana, V-Day, The Campaign, National Wildlife Federation, Feminist Majority Foundation, Equality Now, National Organization for Women, ASPCA, The Nature Conservancy, Union of Concerned Scientists, Farm Sanctuary, Amnesty International, OXFAM, AFL-CIO, CodePink, Missourians Against the Death Penalty, NCADP, Missouri Pro-Vote, NRDC, and campaigns for John Kerry, Barack Obama and several local politicians.
I am married to my high school sweetheart, and together we have a very tenacious preschooler. We are heavily learning toward homeschooling her, and my favorite things to do are to play, attend events, go on outings and make stuff with my two favorite people.
I am also back at my alma mater, Southeast Missouri State University, as a graduate student. Aside from my main passions of writing, art, reading, and generally being as ambitious as possible, I love to learn new things, have date nights with The Husband, and highlight anything within my reach.
