She has lived all over the country — California, Texas, Michigan, Massachusetts, Louisiana — and currently resides just outside of Nashville, Tennessee. In 2011, she received her Bachelor of Arts in English from Austin Peay State University and, in 2014, her Master of Fine Arts in Poetry from Emerson College. Currently, she is doctoral student at Middle Tennessee State University, where she also works as an academic advisor and an English instructor.
