About

I'm an author and an entrepreneurship instructor at Miami University. In June 2017, I published my first novel, Lu, about a modern woman's journey to faith, and I'm currently writing the sequel. I also teach courses in women and entrepreneurship and creativity for Miami's Farmer School of Business.
