About Me

Street cred: ​In most of the last decade I've worked as a freelance writer of feature stories for small to mid-market daily newspapers, weeklies and regional publications. Before that I worked in communications, media relations and public education roles for a number of non-profits and government agencies. I’ve written a novel I hope gets published sometime before I’m too old to go on book tours. Which some days feels like now.

My personal interests are numerous and too far flung to itemize. I'm especially interested in animals and the workings of the natural world, and sciency things like when and how transformative advances in technology came about in big and small ways.

I spent my earliest years in a part of northern New Jersey that I constantly dreamed of leaving. I spent the majority of my adult life in Vermont, not too far from the capitol city of Montpelier. I still think of Vermont as the place where I grew up, so to speak.

For family reasons, my husband and I moved to Minnesota not long before the COVID lockdown happened. A rotten time to get to know a place. Despite greatly missing my Vermont home and people, there’s a lot to like here.
