No matter who you are or what society has labeled you, you are special and worth the world! Yesterday was #worldmentalhealthday and this is why I’m proud that my short story about a boy with autism has placed as a finalist in the Coalition of Texans with Disabilities Pen 2 Paper contest!

I’ve always been a person who’s dared to make a difference… and one of my favorite ways is through writing!
I double-majored in Creative Writing and Human Health at Emory University, where I explored the medical humanities through coursework, a literacy group that I founded, and study-abroad opportunities across four continents. To learn more about how to craft content that spurs behavior change, I started Emory’s graduate MPH program in Behavioral Sciences, Health, and Health Education Sciences. Now, I write about a variety of health topics, with special passions for climate, infectious disease, equity, and disability. I publish books, articles, grants, stories, and podcasts for diverse audiences.
