I came to Athens to earn a Master of Public Administration from UGA, and I stayed because I love the area.

In June 2013, I was hired as the first-ever executive director of Books for Keeps, an Athens nonprofit dedicated to getting books into the hands of children who might not otherwise have books at home. Learn more at booksforkeeps.org.

In my free time, I love hiking in the Northeast Georgia mountains, running at the State Botanical Garden, watching old movies, eating good food, and, of course, reading a book on a rainy day.
