I am a poet, writer and marketing consultant with a BA in English from Kenyon College. I served as a Student Associate Editor for The Kenyon Review and as an intern at National Geographic Magazine in Washington, D.C.
After college, I served as Assistant Publisher of a Connecticut-based arts and entertainment guide and founded a small marketing firm.
I currently reside in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee, where I work as a speech therapist. I enjoy classes through UNC Asheville’s Smoky Mountain Writers Program. I love hiking and cycling in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
My interest in Creative Non Fiction was nurtured by author David Foster Wallace, who visited Kenyon while I was a student. I am an avid reader and writer of poetry; Dante, Rumi, Emily Dickinson, Sharon Olds, Robert Hass, T.S. Elliot, William Buttler Yeats, Andrew Motion, e.e. Cummings are a few of my favorite poets.
