She’s the author of Falsehood, a co-founding editor of No, Dear, curator of the LINEAGE series at Wendy’s Subway, and member of Temp. Files, a video art cooperative and digital residency. She aims to cultivate community, creativity, mindfulness and authenticity across contexts - work that began by advocating for sexual assault survivors, continued through 20 years teaching and coaching in the NYC Department of Education, and extends across many other teaching and community contexts, including in her coaching work and Open Language writing workshops. She earned a BA in Psychology, Gender Studies, and English from Boston University, an MS Ed from Pace University, and an MFA in Poetry from New York University, where she facilitated the Veterans Writing Workshop. She’s been in residence at Saltonstall and Elsewhere, an Emerging Poets Fellow at Poets House, and currently serves on the Board of Directors for Poetry Well and Powerhouse. Her poetry, and occasional prose and interdisciplinary work, appears periodically in journals, anthologies, and digital platforms. She’s based in New York, between Brooklyn (Lenape) and Speonk (Shinnecock).
