I'm a professional writer who covers wine, food and recipe development, as well as occasional home and gardening stories. I contribute to magazines and websites like Wine Enthusiast, Better Homes & Gardens, Cooking Light, and myrecipes.com on topics from pairing wine with avocados to planning a kitchen garden. I'm also the founder and EIC of Vinobite, a short daily wine tidbit for the digital set, and I blog about wine for Slashfood, an AOL blog for foodies.

I'm a member of the American Society of Journalists and Authors and the Online News Association, and I've just passed the introductory course of the Court of Master Sommeliers. Next up: Sommelier certification this fall.  

I live in a 108-year-old Craftsman-style house in beautiful eastern Tennessee with my husband and two daughters (vintages 2003 and 2006).

Please check out my writing samples and current projects. I'd love to work with you soon.
