I am a freelance writer, editor, and teacher with experience in a wide range of genres, including journalism, memoir, personal essay, profile, and poetry. Twice nominated for James Beard journalism awards, I also top-edited two magazines that won ASME and Luce awards under my stewardship. I have worked as a professional cook for a retreat center and a group of seven summer camps. I currently work one-on-one as an editor and writing coach for individual clients, as well as teach writing in the Hudson Valley, where I live. I previously worked as an adjunct professer of writing at Hunter College in New York City.
