writing prompts and reddit

I am a writer.

I write in a range of genres and subjects including technology, finance, social media content, blogs, poetry, book reviews, and Utah life. I also write technical documentation for OpenVPN, Inc.

I am a doodler and soccer-playing mom. I cherish when my kids have quiet time; in those moments, I can sip Dr. Pepper, eat chocolate, and write.

I finished the first draft of my memoir and will put the effort in soon to both editing and searching for an agent.

BA in English

I graduated from Brigham Young University with a bachelor’s in English. I wrote papers comparing Don Quixote to Hamlet, examining the rhetoric of ancient Greek philosophers, and dabbled in my own creative writing.

MS in Technical Writing

I received my Master’s in technical writing from Utah State University and am a published author in a range of genres and subjects including poetry, finance, book reviews, and technology.

Certified Scrum Master

I have a decade of experience in IT, working previously as both a Business Systems and a Software QA analyst. I documented process flows, wrote user stories and test cases, and sketched up wireframes. I know the art of the sticky note.
