Welcome

I am a writer and communications consultant based in Ithaca, NY. Before launching a freelance career in 2010, I worked for over ten years  as a corporate writer in the diverse fields of biotechnology, higher education, food service, and agrimarketing. Guiding professionals and executives in these fields, I developed newsletters, magazine articles, press releases, websites, video scripts, laboratory reports, conference posters and oral presentations, among other marketing and public relations documents. Currently I serve as the communications coordinator for Cornell Engineering.

My fiction has appeared in over twenty-five literary magazines and has received several awards/honors, including a fellowship from the Community Arts Partnership of Tompkins County and a New Writer Award from Sequestrum magazine. I was honored to serve as artistic director for the Spring Writes Literary Festival, held in downtown Ithaca in 2108 & 2019.

I earned a bachelor's degree in communications with a concentration in science writing from Cornell University and an MA and PhD in English from Binghamton University.
