My Story

I am an experienced writer and educator. For a decade, I taught and tutored writing at a liberal arts college, mentoring hundreds of students from an array of disciplines. I find great joy in watching writers and their work develop over time.

​

Complementing my love of learning, my passion for fitness facilitates a different kind of growth. Although I was more of a bookworm than an athlete in my younger days, I discovered the benefits of exercise in my late twenties and never looked back. I realized that my mind and my body are deeply connected and that pursuing fitness is one path toward building resiliency, managing anxiety, and having fun!

​

The third and most important pillar of my life is my family. When I am not working or working out, I love dancing with my son, throwing a ball for my two dogs, and going to the theatre with my husband.
