A lifelong Episcopalian, she studied the Old and New Testaments through Sewanees Education for Ministry. Her book of poems, Sheets, won the Christian Choice Book Award for poetry in 2008. As an English teacher at Norfolk Academy, she was selected to be a schoolteacher fellow at the University of St. Andrews. During her stay in Scotland, she recorded impressions that she later reframed as meditations for Lent, with the help of Lynn Dean Hunter, author, editor, and adjunct professor of English at the University of Phoenix.view less
