I write and edit from the Catskills, where the quiet makes room for bigger questions. From here, I explore beauty, aging, motherhood, memory, and the immigrant experience — though mostly, I’m chasing the meaning of life. My work can be serious, though I try not to take myself too seriously.
About
With more than a decade in marketing and editorial, I’ve gathered a few credentials: a B.A. in Fiction from Columbia University and an M.F.A. in Creative Nonfiction underway at Hunter College.
My path has placed me in the company of award-winning writers whose guidance still influence my sentences. Of all my mentors, I owe the most to, in chronological order: Kristopher Jansma, Phillip Lopate, Sam Lipsyte, and Margo Jefferson. (Thank you for your encouragement — and for reminding me to trust my talent.)
Projects
I am the founder of the upstate arts and culture publication DVEIGHT and the women’s lifestyle journal Upstate Woman, where I serve as writer, editor, publisher, creative director — and sometimes delivery girl.
