I was born in New York City, grew up outside of Washington, D.C., and received a BA at Amherst College. After serving in the Peace Corps in Tunisia, I came to New York, where I have spent my entire adult life.

I have had many jobs to survive, but through it all I have been a writer. My work has been published in a range of publications that feature fiction, poetry, journalism and commentary. I also received an MA degree in literature and taught literature and writing in various colleges and universities.
