About

I am a poet, editor and educator. Since I received my MFA in July of 2009 I have taken every opportunity to teach courses at colleges throughout New Hampshire as an adjunct, while applying all over the country for full-time tenure track professorships. While teaching is one of the most demanding jobs I have ever had, (and trust me I have had a wide variety of jobs in the past) I love the discovery and creativity that happens in the classroom for both the students and myself. I am thankful to have found a career that allows me to help others and encourages me to continue to grow.

Now that my first book has been published by Salmon Poetry, my daughters are entering high school and middle school respectively, and my husband is graduating with his first Bachelors Degree, I look forward to the next chapter of my career as a teacher and a writer.
