WELCOME

I graduated from the University of Iowa where I studied in the Writers’ Workshop with many of America's most notable poets. I hold two magna cum laude Master’s degrees, one in Curriculum Development from DePaul University in Chicago, and one in Information Assurance from Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont.

Originally from Chicago, I settled in Virginia. I served as editor-in-chief for Conclave: A Journal of Character for a decade. I was a three-time finalist for the Casey Shay Mary Ballard Poet’s Prize​, won Honorable Mention for The Missouri Review Poet’s Prize​, and took fourth Place in the Fall, 2008, New Hampshire Poet’s Prize.

Let me help you take your writing to the next level, and use smart marketing to reach your audience!
