It’s a toss-up which I love more: writing or traveling. I've crossed the Sahara Desert’s dunes on a camel, trotted into the Arctic Circle with a reindeer sled, floated in the Dead Sea, traversed parts of India and Thailand on an elephant, and clung to rope bridges that swung over gorges in the Amazon Rainforest—for starters. 

Writing brings the same thrills for me. My essays, poems, and flash prose have been published in dozens of literary journals, and I've been awarded writing residencies around the world.

I'm a memoirist and essayist living in New Hampshire’s Seacoast region, a columnist with WOW! Women on Writing that publishes a monthly newsletter sent to more than 50,000 email subscribers, and an editor with Barren Magazine. I also lead writing workshops through a nonprofit for people living with brain injury. 

The opening chapter to my memoir was a finalist for the Sandra Carpenter Prize for Creative Nonfiction and longlisted for the First Pages Prize. It also appears in the multi-award-winning anthology Awakenings: Stories of Body & Consciousness.
