​

With degrees in English from Stanford and Mills College, I currently coach graduate students in writing and am an active member of The Porch, a literary arts organization based in Nashville. I have also taught writing to undergraduates at Skyline College and Belmont University. 

 

My perspective has been shaped and informed by many life experiences, including my upbringing in Washington, D.C.; a world-expanding young adulthood in Northern California; dedication and a sense of purpose raising my daughters in Tennessee; far-flung extended family and friends; and a long, lucky interracial marriage.
