A solo trip to India in 2024 ignited a passion for me to explore the world. Adventures that followed revived a dream – to be a freelance travel writer.
Before becoming a mom, I was a freelance journalist.
Knoxville News Sentinel
While juggling three young children in 2011, I wrote a weekly column featuring community news for the Knoxville News Sentinel. A few links to my stories survived media buyouts and paywalls.

- Artist taps South Knoxville roots for inspiration
- New shop piques curiosity and local support
- Knoxville journalism teacher, students earn top awards
- Disc Exchange owner speaks out about Henley Bridge
- Shaking off allergies: New salt spa in Bearden offers relief to clients
The Tennessean, Nashville’s daily newspaper, published a guest editorial I wrote on car seat safety laws. While the original link is no longer active, the editorial is included in this Simply Natural Mom post.
