About

According to my mom, I wrote my first poem (a little ditty about moonbeams) when I was four years old — and I haven’t stopped writing since. I’ve worked with a range of people from small business owners to multinational corporations like General Motors, Cleveland Clinic, Navy Federal Credit Union and Coca-Cola. My essays and poetry have appeared in publications like Catapult, The Kenyon Review, Brevity magazine and more. 

I graduated with my Master’s degree in Creative Writing at the end of 2016 and have received several awards for my work in creative nonfiction and poetry. When I’m not reading or writing, I like taste-testing different French fries, gardening, listening to records, sending notes to my 20+ pen pals (hi, #penpalooza pals), knitting and binge-watching the Great British Bake-Off.
