Biographie:
Inspired by mythology and powerful wanderlust, Whitney spent her early life traveling in search of a place that felt like home. Her adventures led her further and further from her true residence which she ultimately found in a small, beating space within her chest. She writes to make sense of a complex world and to function as a channel for the muse, which loves it when she lets her eyes roll back in her head and her fingers dance wildly across the keyboard. Whitney graduated with a degree in Comparative Literature from the University of Colorado, where she put on a masterclass in procrastination and binge drinking. She currently works remotely as a strategic content manager for a technology startup accelerator where she builds storytelling frameworks for entrepreneurs. She loves a good system, which she is working on implementing for her personal blog and newsletter, published under the HALF WILD name at haldwilddispatches.com. Whitney loves dogs, dinner parties, and talking to strangers. She is passionate about exploring how to eat, live, love, and travel well. She is happily settled-for the moment-in the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina.
