I am a poet and writer currently living in Ann Arbor with my two cats: Wallaby (pictured here) and Orange Boy (too busy being orange to be photographed).

I received my MFA in Creative Writing from the Helen Zell Writers’ Program at the University of Michigan. Right now, I work as a Product Insights Claims Writer for Hogarth Worldwide supporting Ford Motor Company. During my time at Hogarth, I collaborated on exciting vehicle reveals and launches, countless media communications, and so so so many product claims.

Outside of work I spend my time knitting, playing video games, walking around outside looking at stuff, and reading books. I play well with others and enjoy the finer things in life…

…soft sheets, warm toes, and plums in the icebox.
