Within a year she had moved to Thailand and quit her job to work as a freelance underwater photographer and videographer. She lived in Thailand for three years and has since since built a successful career as a freelance writer. Her work has appeared in such diverse publications as the Huffington Post, American Spectator, and Scuba Diver Magazine. She currently lives in Baltimore, MD.
