I am a writer, publishing professional, professor, and explorer. Books and storytelling are at the heart of my identity. I grew up in a small town in northern New Jersey and hold an MA in creative nonfiction writing from Johns Hopkins University. I earned my BA in English and a minor in business from Hofstra University, where I now teach as an adjunct professor in their Publishing Studies program. I am the Biology Marketing Manager for W. W. Norton's college division, where I've worked for almost eight years. Presently, I split my time living in both western Colorado and New Jersey.

 

I am also certified as a body-based, multi-modality somatic practitioner and SoulFlow™ embodiment through the School of Somatic Arts and in Ayurvedic practices and nervous system foundations from the Yogi Fuel Academy. ​

​

As an Enneagram 9 and Reflector in Human Design, I have the unique ability to hold space with kindness and curiosity for all individuals. I feel passionately about creating transparent spaces where everyone is welcome, heard, and seen. 

​

I love the sun on my skin and long car rides. I am terribly fascinated with how places and homes become a part of us, and how we become a part of them in exchange.​
