I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
One of the best parts about living in my hometown as a parent is being able to experience my hometown now, as an adult, with my kids. In this case, Cincinnati is my home town, and as a kid, my adventures were generally limited to the immediate neighborhood, with the occasional outing to Riverfront Stadium (now Great American Ball Park – go Reds!) and the Cincinnati Zoo. As an adult and a mom of four and a travel writer, I’ve made it our mission to explore Cincinnati — and all of Ohio, really — to the fullest, and French Park is an off-the-beaten path gem we return to again and again. It’s a place many locals don’t know about; a hidden gem full of breathtaking scenery, a picture-perfect wedding venue… and some of the most relaxing hiking in Ohio, including the eponymous French Hike trail.
