My first poem was published when I was 10 in Children’s Digest magazine. It was a silly piece about junk food—but still, when I found the issue in my mailbox, I ran all the way up my driveway with it flapping in my sweaty little hand.

I completed my BA in Honors English at the University of New Hampshire and my MFA in Creative Writing from Emerson College. My poetry has been twice nominated for a Pushcart Prize and writing has been published in The Concord Monitor, Entelechy International, Limestone, Leverage Points, NH Troubadour, The Orange Room, Boston Literary Magazine, Bop Dead City, and The Systems Thinker.

For 9 years, I worked as publications director at Pegasus Communications, where I launched a new book publishing business and a newsletter, Leverage Points: News and Ideas for the Organizational Learner. I currently serve as adjunct faculty in creative writing at a local university, and as a consultant in the field of nonprofit management.
