Burn Rate (novel)
Atlanta, GA

Burn Rate is the story of Carter Cook, a disorganized founder whose startup has gone viral and unexpectedly bankrupt at the same time. As she follows a digital paper trail in search of the missing cash, it leads her to the only other person who could save the company—or sink it for good.

I am a former venture-backed startup founder from Atlanta, Georgia, working on my first novel. My startup work has been featured in Time, The Wall Street Journal, Wired Magazine and the New York Post. I attended a writing residency at Rockvale Writer’s Colony and creative writing classes at NYU, Catapult, and the Writer’s Studio. I received a B.A. from Princeton in History and American Studies and an MBA from Stanford’s Graduate School of Business. I write whenever I can get my young children to play quietly without hurting each other.
