Published Work

I love to write stories, and I love to ask good questions. In many ways, I feel like I learn more, hear more, when I write than most any other time. Since moving overseas in April of 2010, I have been fortunate enough to have my writing morph into something more than the simple family blog I began with. And for that, I am deeply grateful.

I am the founder and editor for an educational website called MyTeachersLounge.com, and I have also worked as a freelance writer for Compassion International, SE Asia.  On my personal blog, I try to highlight the stories of others I meet overseas, while giving an honest recording of my own journey here in Asia.

I have also been fortunate enough to have several of my articles and interviews published with other websites and organizations.  Here are a few of my words that have landed in other places:
