About Me

I write creative nonfiction - a combination of personal narrative and research. You can see examples of my work here and here.

I have taught literature and research writing courses to undergraduates, worked as a union organizer, purified coagulation proteins, and managed a Gap Kids.

I currently live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with my partner and our two cats.

Education:

  • B.S. in Biology from Michigan State University
