About Me

I live in Bentonville, Arkansas. I love Arkansas.

I proofread everything. It's annoying.

My degree in journalism and early start at a daily newspaper sparked a career in corporate communications. I've spent the last 19 years communicating at the world's largest retailer. I love my job.

I knew I liked words and enjoyed communications in high school. I was editor of my high school yearbook. I auditioned and was selected as a KAIT 8-Teen Reporter. I wrote for the local weekly newspaper, my college newspaper at Arkansas State University and held a full-time job at a daily newspaper - The Jonesboro Sun - before I graduated from college.

I'm the happiest when I have a camera in my hands. I love capturing memories big and small. I love finding eagles and snapping photos of them. Occasionally I accept paid gigs capturing events big and small. I trained as a photojournalist in college, and love freezing time and making art.

I watch an insane amount of tv. I get lost in great stories. And visual story-telling.

I drink a lot of Diet Coke from Sonic. (With vanilla. Easy ice.)

I've always loved music. I learned to play piano, read music and sing. I attend as many concerts as I can.

I introduced my son to music at a very early age. Music has become his life.

I'm a proud band mom. My son was a member of Drum Corps International for 3 years. He started with the Oregon Crusaders then marched with Madison Scouts and performed with the Cavaliers. Even though he doesn't play as often these days, I'll always be a band mom. I love photographing marching arts performances.

I'm a military wife. My husband retired after 20 years of service in the United States Air Force.

I'm creative. I like making things. Wreaths. Cricut designs. Refinished furniture. Web design. Cool videos. Photography.

Halloween is my favorite. I go over the top.

I'm happiest multi-tasking. I like keeping a lot of tabs open, and I thrive on the energy of staying busy.
