She studied English Literature and American Studies at Vanderbilt University, taught two years of sixth-grade math with Teach for America, and self-published my first book while working for an airport restaurants company. She currently serve on the leadership board of a non-profit for Catholic parents with LGBT children and she enjoy speaking to PFLAG groups and high school GSAs. she live in Atlanta, “the city in a forest,” where she enjoy the rich literary culture and sort-of-Southern charm.
