BIO
I attended Boston University, completing my MFA in their nationally ranked program and receiving the Saul Bellow Fiction Prize. On top of teaching undergraduates, I met rapidly-approaching deadlines with my own creative work. Additionally, I was able to intern at the literature magazine AGNI, where I gained additional experience in editing and publishing. Upon graduation, I taught college writing at Berklee College of Music and Creative Writing at Boston University for two years. At the present moment, I am working in Communications and Marketing.
I am currently seeking representation for my completed first novel.
