Biography:

When not teaching ENG 317, I can be found enjoying the coast of Maine aboard our sailboat, kayaking on quiet lakes and rivers, hiking in Acadia, and enjoying the company of my husband, daughter and son. I enjoy working with people and their writing, at whatever stage, from helping thoughts take shape to tinkering with a phrase in a final draft. The magic in watching someone’s ideas come together on the page never grows old for me.
