She's explored many places and vocations, working as a high school Englis teacher and a nonfiction writer and editor for publishers such as National Geographic. In 2018, she started The Exploress, a women's history podcast with a cult following and over half a million downloads. She is also the co-host of Pub Dates, a podcast that takes readers backstage to join her on the journey to publication for her first book, Nightbirds.
