Literary / academiaFor me, writing lives at the intersection of play and prayer. It helps me untangle what it means to be alive, teaches me about the world, and lets me lean in close.
Teaching creative writing, creative process, and channels of inspiration are the center of my literary and academic work. My Writing Life As a writer I am genre fluid. Primarily I write memoir, essay (sometimes published as lyric essay or poetry), and songs that flow between fiction and non-fiction. I have dabbled in literary translation (French to English), ghost written for others, and served as developmental, copy, and proof editor. My essays and poems have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and Best New Poets and have appeared as the cover story in Lilith Magazine, and in Moment Magazine, Lit Hub, Brevity, Matador Review, The Poet's Billow, Accolades Anthology (Women Who Submit), Under the Gum Tree, Jet Fuel Review, From Sac, Gulf Stream, Role/Reboot, Duotrope, Roland Magazine, Antioch Alumni Magazine, The Review Review, among others. A particular joy from my editorial life includes the four letters I wrote as Editor-in-Chief of Lunch Ticket (Issue 8, Issue 9, Issue 10, Lunch Ticket Special). Recent work from my pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago continues to shape my current projects. Teaching & Academic Work I teach creative writing in undergraduate, graduate, and community spaces. As a Senior Lecturer at Antioch University, I teach Creative Writing and Creativity Research Studies in the Undergraduate Studies program and have also served on faculty in the MFA and Inspiration2Publication programs. Additionally, I've taught at the University of Wisconsin Summer Music Clinic and the International Women’s Writing Guild conference, and been invited by the Los Angeles Master Chorale to serve as a Lyricist Teaching Artist for their Voices Within program. My teaching philosophy centers curiosity, craft, attention, and the relationship between voice and place. Education & Training
I also earned a Post-MFA Certificate in Creative Writing Pedagogy, completing Teaching Assistantships with Aimee Bender (USC) and Barbara Abercrombie (UCLA Extension). While at Antioch, I twice received the University Library Research Prize for my research on the Wicked Stepmother narrative and the intersections of lyric essay, feminist pedagogy, and postmodernism. Now & Next My ongoing work includes a memoir exploring what it means to be a mother, along with the steadier, quieter practice of essays and songs. |
