Welcome
I am a Pittsburgh-based writer passionate about the planet, its bounty, and enjoying its beauty--which, for me, usually involves a rugby game and a sandwich afterward. My love of these things has led me from the press box of the Rugby World Cup to the irrigation canals in Phoenix to the kitchens of an organic pizzeria and my work has appeared in US Airways Magazine, Ode magazine, and Bicycling magazine, among other publications. I am intrigued by the extraordinary and believe a story lies in each of us, waiting to emerge. Recently, I have explored everything from urban coyotes to opera fudge.

I have an MFA from the University of Pittsburgh's Creative Nonfiction Writing program with certifications in Women's Studies and Teaching Composition, and I hold a BA in English from the Pennsylvania State University. Eager to share my enthusiasm for reading and writing, I also enjoy teaching courses in these subjects. Click here to view my CV.
