I’m a Bay Area native who fell in love with words at a young age. I feel fortunate to do what I love for a living, and much of my free time goes to writing.

I start each day (okay, most days) with 10 minutes of free writing followed by 10 minutes of meditation. I’m slowly working my way through the U Penn Modern & Contemporary American Poetry (”ModPo”) curriculum, and I love to go on writing retreats whenever possible.

When I’m not writing, you can find me reading, spending time with my granddaughter, or making a mess in the kitchen (the latter two often go hand in hand). I’d love to teach you how to play pickleball or make you a cocktail — or both. Say hello sometime!
