I've been living in the Quad-City area (Davenport, Iowa) for about seven years. I love poetry, movies, hockey, journalism, writing and roller derby, though not necessarily in that order.

I specialize in journalism, multimedia and social media strategies and promotion.

I referee roller derby for the Old Capitol City Roller Girls, an Iowa City-based female roller derby league and charter member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association. I've been involved with roller derby almost six years.

I just recently bought a beagle from some friends and slowly growing to love her intelligence and affection. We are both outdoor people.
