I’m a writer, a New Jersey native currently based in Philadelphia. I earned my BA from Sarah Lawrence College and a Master’s in English literature from Temple University.

I use this site as a portfolio of my published work. Currently I write fiction and poetry along with the occasional essay, usually with a focus on female characters and pop culture.

For most of 2015, I wrote a weekly feature here, desk lunch, highlighting what I read week-by-week. I post updates of my published work here.
