I came to writing later in life after an education in anthropology and a career in the nonprofit sector. I am a versatile creative writer working in prose, poetry, music and drama. Whether fiction, nonfiction or drama, I pull together the disparate experiences of life to create strong emotional responses. I use visual images to anchor each work and juxtapose movement and music, or their suggestions, to deepen meaning. I am highly motivated to interpret what is complicated, to transform the ordinary, and to present the ineffable. With an educational background in anthropology, my writing has naturally sought out universal themes. I strive for the highest common denominator in my writing—the greatest meaning for the greatest number of people.

Thank you for your interest in my work.
