About

I am a writer, journalist and naturalist living in western Massachusetts.  My published work includes science journalism, nature writing and poetry. I also write for children.

I teach at Smith College in the Jacobson Writing Center and as a lecturer. I served as the Writer-in-Residence at the Northampton Forbes Public Library for 2015-2018, and as artist in residence at Shoals Marine Laboratory in 2018.

You can listen to or read brief interviews with me at NEPR, Writer’s Voice (starting 32 minutes in), Write Angles and Straw Dog Writers Guild.

I received my Ph.D. in geosciences from the University of Michigan.
