About

A former English teacher-turned-entrepreneur, I leveraged my love of writing and running to create Rise Run Retreat in 2015, one of the premier women’s running retreats in the US. After nearly a decade of leading retreats, I’ve pivoted back to my writing roots and am creating a community over on Substack with my weekly newsletter, Out of Bounds where I explore life outside the lines.

I was contributing writer for Women’s Running Magazine, and my work has appeared in Runner’s World, Vine Leaves Press, and I have been featured inThe New York Times,Washington Post, andOutside among others. My fiction was a semifinalist for the pilot filming of America’s Next Great Author and was long-listed for the Tall Poppy Writers fiction pitch contest. I call rural New Hampshire home where I live with my husband and three children, and am trying to grow as many lupines as possible.

A guy taking in his dock called us an “armada.” I supposed that’s true. #rageagainstheindoors #optoutside #bea
