About
Hi, I'm Avery.
An award-winning writer with a passion for helping others tell their stories.
I love helping people tell their stories. Whether it's feature writing that highlights stories from around the world or helping students understand their own writing assignments, I help others utilize the power of words.
My reporting has taken me from small-town Tennessee to the Gaza envelope, and my byline has appeared in national and international publications.
