I received an MFA in Poetry from The New School and have been a finalist for the Poetry Box Chapbook Prize and Bridge Eight Fiction Prize, as well as a semifinalist for the Pamet River Prize at Yes Yes Books. My poems have been published by numerous journals including Virginia Quarterly Review, Harvard Women's Law Journal, Paterson Literary Review, Lips, and others, as well as anthologies including The American Voice in Poetry: the Legacy of Whitman, Williams, and Ginsberg and The Poetry of Place: North Jersey In Poetry. I'm a public interest lawyer currently recovering from lyme disease, living with my family in northwestern New Jersey.
