I am a Web Content Editor for WebAssign, an online instructional application owned by Cengage. In my role, I apply web design best practices to digital content to enhance user experience and to improve learning objectives for students. I utilize proprietary and web-based mark-up languages and tools to create content on the WebAssign platform, as well as other Cengage platforms, and copyedit for consistency and style. As part of a cross-functional, Agile team, I work to improve accessibility in both new and legacy web content across WebAssign and Cengage platforms. I am also a published author of fiction and non-fiction.
My stories have won Asimov’s Dell Award and the Brenda L. Smart Prize, and reached the finalist list in Glimmer Train’s Short Story Award for New Writers. I have also won Sundress Publications’ Best of the Net Award for 2010 and have appeared in Oxford American, Surreal South, Southern Cultures, Raleigh Review, and Not One of Us, among others. I was a finalist for the Piedmont Laureate in 2014. I earned an MFA in Creative Writing at North Carolina State University.
