I work in dispatch at WeGo Public Transit, helping to give Nashville residents more choices about how they move. I'm also a volunteer member of Nashville's Vision Zero Advisory Committee, advising on the city's plan to eliminate roadway fatalities. Most recently, I spent five years teaching middle school math in MNPS before pursuing my passion for public transit.

You can find my thoughts on BlueSky, and I occasionally write about transit, pedestrian safety, Nashville’s Metro Council, or something else at my Bullfrog Blog.

Many of my weekends are spent at marching band, indoor, or drum corps events as a volunteer, certified band nerd, or T&P judge for Southeastern Color Guard Circuit.

I'm a graduate of Belmont University, where I earned a Master of Art in Teaching as a job-embedded candidate. My licensure covers 6-12 math.

I earned my undergraduate degree at Mizzou, where I studied computer science and was nightly operations manager at the student-run safe ride program STRIPES. During my time at Mizzou, I also worked as an AVID tutor in Columbia Public Schools and a copy editor at The Maneater.

I‘ve previously spent time in roles such as managing editor of HornRank, freelance contributor for FloMarching, tour administrator with The Academy, administrator at Bluecoats Indoor, and event staff and volunteer for various marching arts contests. My marching experience includes four years as drum major at Music City Drum Corps.
