Got something to say?

Perhaps I can help.

I'm a Boston-based writer and a truly obsessed word junkie. Whether
it's brainstorming an
ad campaign, drafting a script for your latest
corporate video, or crafting an informative article for your newsletter or
magazine, finding the right words to get the message or story across is
what makes me tick.

My professional background includes writing, concept development and
project management for a variety of clients including:

  • Raytheon
  • EF Education (Cultural Care Au Pair)
  • Monster.com
  • Lahey Clinic
  • The Anti-Defamation League of New England

A complete list is also available here.

Although I consider myself more of a generalist, my most extensive
experience is in
non-profit communications, healthcare/medical writing,
and
recruitment advertising.

I received my MFA in Creative Writing from Lesley University in 2005.
My work has appeared in numerous publications including the Boston
Globe
and literary journals such as the Gettysburg Review and the
Baltimore Review. My essay "Torn" was chosen as a notable essay of
2006 in
the Best American Essays. Excerpts from my interview with
author Amy Krouse Rosenthal will appear in the forthcoming
Autobiographer's Handbook:  The 826 Valencia Guide to Writing Your
Memoir.
I also mentor current MFA in creative writing students at Lesley
interested in developing their personal essay writing or author
interviewing skills.
