I am a curious person, and I find the world to be a curious place. My inspiration comes from learning new things, discovering new places, and meeting new people, and I make sense of it all by writing it down.

I have an M.A. in Writing from Johns Hopkins University, and my articles and essays have been published by The Butter (an essay series edited by Roxane Gay for The Toast), Baltimore City Paper, Baltimore Magazine, BmoreArt, The Lebanon Times, Quechee Times, Norwich Times, Newport Times, Engineering.com, Full Grown People, National Parks Traveler, Outside In Literary & Travel Magazine, Queen Mob’s Tea House, JMWW, Missouri Meetings & Events, Sauce Magazine, and others.

I am currently the editor and content manager for Great Good Media’s New England publications: The Lebanon Times, Newport Times, Norwich Times, and Quechee Times. I’m also a managing editor for 3cents Magazine, and I spent four years as a nonfiction editor for The Baltimore Review. In addition, I’ve held several senior communications and marketing roles for a variety of organizations, with extensive experience in the higher education, nonprofit, and technology sectors.

I serve on the board of trustees of Opera North, a regional opera company in New Hampshire, and I am a board member and past president of the Yankee Chapter of PRSA. I previously served on the board of CityLit Project, an organization that nurtures the culture of literature in the Baltimore metro area; and on fundraising and engagement committees for Baltimore Center Stage, the State Theater of Maryland. I’ve volunteered as a creative writing instructor for Writers in Baltimore Schools, served as a juror for the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, and guest lectured about writing and communications for classes at Johns Hopkins University, Loyola University Maryland, Goucher College, and Morgan State University.

When I’m not writing, I spend my free time practicing yoga, sailing, playing the piano, walking my rescue dogs, and reading to keep up with my book-buying habit.
