ABOUT ME

I spent most of my childhood in Connecticut until my dad's new job took us around the country. Four states in 8 years...books were my constant friends.

​

At the University of Virginia, I was a staff writer for the Cavalier Daily, and  I went on to study publishing at the Radcliffe Publishing Course in Cambridge, MA. I worked briefly as an assistant to a literary agent in Washington, D.C. 

​

After a happy career as a middle school English teacher, I returned to writing when I needed a creative outlet--something that didn't involve changing diapers and carpooling. Since then, my work has appeared in OC Kids Magazine, the Laguna Beach Independent, Juste Milieu, and the Beach Reads anthology series. I co-founded and lead the Laguna Beach-based nonprofit, the Third Street Writers.
