I graduated with a B.A. in English from The Ohio State University (Go Bucks!) and an M.S. in Marketing and Communication from Franklin University.

I am an avid reader, foodie, gardener, photographer, and cook. In fact, it’s my love of gardening that inspired my website’s name Words in Bloom.

We live on 5+ acres just south of Columbus, Ohio, with Blitz, our elderly Aussie Shepherd mix, and a variety of birds, frogs, snakes, and woodland creatures.
