With almost 20 years of experience in the education field teaching, designing instruction and curriculum, training teachers and stakeholders, presenting on project based learning, building relationships between the community and schools, and growing students and teachers through analysis and action, I am seeking a position that welcomes a highly motivated, deadline oriented professional to join their team. I’ve also spent the last five years working in the publishing industry as a content coordinator, editor, senior writer, and copy editor for an international company and a magazine. My debut novel was traditionally published in November of 2023 and in 2021 I started my blog, Books and Bevies, to help authors market their books to a wider audience. Through social media (Facebook, Instagram, X) I’ve networked with authors across the globe to create an inclusive community. I’ve written book reviews, forwards for published novels, marketing content through TikTok and Instagram, and coached new authors on PR practices.My debut novel, Sedona, was long listed for the Santa Fe Literary Project Award and is being considered for the Best Setting Indie Ink Award. Through marketing initiatives I was able to create an original beer with International Gold Winning brewery NODA which was tapped around North Carolina to pair with Sedona.My second novel, Mayview Manor, was signed with Literary Agent Tracy Crow and is being read by publishers. It made the top 10 list for Regal House Publishing’s Petrichor Literary Prize.
