I am a former teacher and current writer living in the Chicago area. I am a contributing author to several anthologies, including Multiples Illuminated, Nevertheless We Persisted, So Glad They Told Me: Women Get Real About Motherhood, Here in the Middle, The Unofficial Guide to Raising Toddlers as well as the literary magazines The Coachella Review, The Sun, and Selfish. My essays have won commendations from the Mark Twain House and Museum Royal Nonesuch Humor Writing Competition and the WOW! Women on Writing Nonfiction Essay Contest. My work has been featured on various online sites including McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, The Belladonna Comedy, Mamalode, The HerStories Project, and Scary Mommy.
