About Me
I wrote my first short story when I was in fifth grade. The story filled a whole 90 pg college ruled spiral noteboook. I called it Murder in the Park and, spoiler alert, the cop did it. I have been writing ever since. I hold an MA in Literature with an emphasis on Post 9-11 lit. I also hold a MFA from University of Arizona in Creative Nonfiction. During my studies I learned to write with precision and accuracy. I learned how to rewrite and edit. And I learned to write with a voice. But it doesn't stop there.
I always strive to learn and develop my literary style and voice, approaching every challenge I come across as an experience to grow and develop as a writer. To find out more or to discuss a potential project, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
