A memoirist and poet, I am obsessed with expression—vocal, longhand, and literary. My award-winning musings appear domestically and abroad in such publications as Ruminate, Angle, and The Old Farmer’s Almanac. My current work-in-progress is Mother’s Ink: A Momoir in Handwriting Analysis, a practice I taught at Anne Arundel Community College and about which I have written for The Bay Weekly and Chesapeake Children Magazine and been featured on Retirement Living TV. My chapbook World Class: Poems from the ESL Classroom (Apprentice House 2014), was featured on Delmarva Public Radio and WYPR.

A native New Englander and alumnus of Bennington Writing Seminars, I now live on the Chesapeake Bay with my husband of thirty-nine years. As a military spouse in the Eighties, I got the travel bug and have since visited all fifty states plus twenty foreign countries.
