I am an essayist and MFA in Writing candidate with aspirations of becoming a book author following a decades-long career as an Emmy and Murrow Award-winning journalist with experience in digital, print, radio and television.

My creative nonfiction work explores family dynamics, LGBTQ+ life, grief and aging, among other topics. As a journalist, I focused on the arts, social justice, health/mental health and cultural trends.
