When not editing for MyWinston-Salem.com, I’m probably out for a run, checking out a new plant-based restaurant, or hunting down the perfect matcha latte. I’m passionate about wellness, nature, and discovering local gems—whether it’s a cozy coffee shop, a neighborhood music venue, or a tucked-away boutique with something special on the shelves. Though I haven’t called Winston-Salem home, I approach every city like a local—diving into the flavors, culture, and daily rituals that make it shine. Travel has shaped my eye for detail and deepened my appreciation for the magic of a well-lived day. I believe in refined taste, fresh air, and finding beauty in the everyday.
