7 continents. 38 countries. 20 years of teaching. 2 Master’s degrees. 1 murder podcast.
*veracious \vəˈrAshush\ (adjective): Regarding ruthfulness; accuracy, and authenticity, especially from one who speaks fluent snark. (I made up that last part.)
Who I am:
A Texas-born true crime obsessed Communication Studies professor turned Montana hiking enthusiast, outdoorsy glittery girl*, voracious world traveler, giver of insightful relationship & life guidance, offerer of informed (or, at least, entertaining) opinions on any topic, creator of a true crime comedy podcast & Interpersonal Newsletter, and grateful inhabitant of a surprising life.
My professional history, using gerunds:
Getting a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature & Language (pretty sexy huh? WTF is a gerund?, you’re asking yourself, right?!) and a Master’s degree in Communication Studies…creating a brand-new approach to interpersonal communication instruction…earning a Criminology Master’s at the University of Cambridge. (Also, knowing what a gerund is.)
*glittery girl:
“gli-tərē gərl”/noun:
Origin: Australia. (Credit Liane Moriarty)Those who “aren’t necessarily the prettiest but decorate themselves...like Christmas trees, with dangling earrings, jingling bangles & delicate, pointless scarves.”
Also, one who is as likely to hike with gloss on her lips as bear spray on her hip. (I made up that last part.)
