What I’m Doing Now
as of June 2026.
I’m supporting authors around the world with their books.
I work with non-fiction and memoir writers as a coach, editor, and publishing guide. I love working with authors who are telling stories of healing and transformation. Read more about my work at ConfidentAuthors.com.
I’m working full-time at the University of Utah.
My availability for freelance projects is very limited from now until the end of the year, but I am still offering editing and ghostwriting services. Reach out about getting on my schedule in fall 2026 if you have a book you need support on.
I’m teaching a Sunday morning yoga class at GLOW SLC.
Glow is a beautiful community that I’m proud to be a part of. It has a gorgeous yoga space as well as an urban bathhouse with a sauna, steam room, cold plunge, lounge pool, and outdoor patio. Join me for a relaxing restorative yoga class on Sunday mornings.
I lead a weekly SMART Recovery meeting.
SMART Recovery is an evidence-informed approach to overcoming addictive behaviors and leading a balanced life. It is an accessible, adaptable, and affirming program that emphasizes self-empowerment and finding the recovery tools and pathway that are right for you. We meet Tuesday evenings at the University of Utah. Learn more about the meeting here, or visit SmartRecovery.org for more information.
I recently completed my Certified Peer Support Specialist training.
I recently completed my Certified Peer Support Specialist training with USARA - Utah Support Advocates for Recovery Awareness! This trauma-informed training was an empowering experience of sharing my story and witnessing powerful transformation and healing in others. One of my favorite moments was spontaneously leading the group in a meta (loving kindness) meditation.
I am so grateful for my journey of recovery. May 2026 marks 7 years of not drinking and over 13 years of recovery for my mental health, learning to thrive as someone who lives with anxiety and depression. I believe recovery is possible and that we are stronger together.
I’m focusing on self-care.
I’m taking time to rest, work out, walk, go to therapy, and nourish myself. I’m spending quality time with loved ones and plugging in to the local communities I love.
