As a writer, I'm interested in communicating stories that move people. Whether it is a magazine article about Ghana orphanages, or a short story about human yearning, I strive to create memorable stories that resonate with readers.


My most recent stories have appeared in The Del Sol Review and in Diagram, a journal of text and art. I am intensively studying the craft of literary writing through the Tucson Writers Studio and am currently working on a collection of short stories.


A generalist, I love tackling a wide range of topics, from the arts to philanthropy, beauty to culture and really love bringing worthwhile untold stories into the public eye. I am passionate and resourceful, which results in articles that are clean, accurate, and engaging.
