Freelance writer and editor with a background in political organizing & communication, advocacy, non-profit management, and government affairs. I've been writing in some capacity since I was 8 years old and voted the second best creative writer in Texas' elementary schools -- I've worried since then that I peaked at 8 years old. In my free time, I enjoy traveling around the world (and writing about it), college basketball, and collecting far too many books. Often found befriending a new animal or deep in the throes of a grand strategy game.
