About Me

Hi all! I'm 29, and also a C6 quad. I've been known to be a bit snarky too, but that's for you to decide.

Professionally, I'm the "SCI Life" columnist for New Mobility magazine. I'm also a regular contributor to Disaboom, "Kids on Wheels" magazine and United Spinal's "Action" magazine. I also work freelance for The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.

And, if you wanna listen to me bullshit for an hour each week, be sure to check out my podcast hosted by XAble.com (every Thurs) called No Free Rides (http://xable.com/lifestyle/nofreerides).

And I can't forget to mention my baby. I've been running a fantastic beauty and disability blog/site for about 7 yrs now. You can check it out at www.beautyability.com.

I've also written for these other publications/websites: Whispers from Heaven, 360Mag.com, ThisAbled.com, Evote.com, Ican.com, Halftheplanet.com, The Land, Publisher's Auxiliary, Mary.com, and N2Arts.com.
