I’m a lifelong reader and writer who believes everyone contains great depths and everyone is innately creative. I have a keen eye and ear for story and I can provide specific craft tips and thoughtful guidance on how to channel what is already within you into a poem, essay, short story, novel that gives people chills.
I earned a Masters of Fine Arts in creative writing from New York University’s Paris Writer’s Program (you can read more about my experience with that excellent program here). My own creative writing practice includes daily journaling, constant Notes in my iPhone, essays on Substack, a longtime blog, and I’m currently editing a memoir (and trying to land an agent) and ruminating on an idea for a novel (I’ve already written one). I write from my life, and there’s a lot to say.
I love to share what I’ve learned with others and to teach folks the endless expressive opportunities offered by creative writing. I lead writing salons in my Washington DC apartment, virtually, and I offer creative writing coaching and editing services.
