As a researcher, writer, and advocate navigating the landscape of chronic illness, I bring my own journey into the narrative. Living in the mountains of rural east Tennessee, I'm inspired by the slow and rhythmic connection to nature. When I'm not immersed in the world of chronic illness narratives, you'll find me painting, gardening, or dancing in my living room to old favorites like Janis Joplin and Amy Ray.

Exploring untold stories and challenging cultural narratives is not just a passion but a way of life. Join me, wherever you are, in reshaping the conversation about chronic illness.
