Profession: I am the Senior Style & Home Editor for Country Living Magazine. I spend most of my days working with an amazing group of creatives to bring the pages of our magazine to life. If I’m not in the photo studio, I’m probably off writing somewhere quiet with a cup of hibiscus tea. Print media and I have had a long love affair and I consider myself lucky to be continuing a centuries-old tradition. It also doesn’t hurt that I surround myself with beautiful imagery all day, every day. 

I’ve been blessed to participate in many industry events including panels, mentorship programs, Instagram takeovers, and editorial features. None of that would have been possible without the amazing education I received at Grady. 

Book: Secret Gardens of the Cotswolds. In my next life, I’d like to be head gardener at a large English manor house. (1)

Magazine: Country Living, of course! (2)

Podcast: Anything true crime. 

Blog: Ariel Okin’s Fenimore Lane. I love reading her profiles of the design world’s coolest people. 

Instagram: Currently loving @themeadowhouseproject and following along as photographer Lucy Cuneo makes over her new home. (3)

Brand: I love Freshly Set, a tabletop company co-owned by a fellow Grady grad and close friend, Mackenzie Attridge. Her business partner, Sarah Slaughter, is another close friend.  

Fashion designer: I’m all about supporting small, sustainable makers. My current favorites are Christy Dawn and Psychic Outlaw. I am obsessed with my upcycled bandana dress from Psychic Outlaw! (4)

Memory while in school: Having a ball with my Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority sisters at all of the spring fraternity parties. What fun those were! 

Professor/class: I’m a history nerd at heart so my favorite class was the lecture series I took on Medieval Europe. It combined all my favorite things: history, folklore, and art. 

Gameday ritual/plan: For the last few years, I watched the game with the New York alumni group. Now, I tailgate with friends down South. 

Tailgate Recipe: My grandmother’s Chex Mix. The secret is lots and lots of butter.
