About Me

I’m an essayist, fiction writer, and gymnastics coach living in the North Hills of Pittsburgh with my husband and three sons. I hold an MFA from Chatham University and a poetry degree from the University of Pittsburgh. My work can be found in The Nasty Woman, Bad Hombre Anthology, several editions of The Madwomen in the Attic Anthology, Technique Magazine, Brevity’s Blog, Pink Pangea’s travel writing website, and the local newspaper, The Hampton News. My collection of inspirational essays, Unexpected Light, was self-published in June 2019 and can be purchased on this page. Currently, I am working on a novel and a second collection of essays about Family Business.
