Chante Owens has been telling stories since she was old enough to wield a gel pen across a composition notebook. She holds an MFA in nonfiction writing from Pacific University and her personal essays have been featured in online publications including The Muse, Well + Good, Healthline, and The Bold Italic.

She has more than eight years of digital marketing and audience development experience helping brands grow their digital footprint, foster engaged communities, and drive user conversion and loyalty.

Born and raised in Reno, NV, she moved to San Francisco after undergrad and has lived and frolicked in the Bay ever since. Though the redwoods and misty coastlines will always hold her captive, the desert is the place that truly makes her heart thrum.
