My work grows from the ground up—rooted in the mountains and rivers of Pennsylvania, the small towns I’ve called home, and the moments where nature interrupts daily life. I write about landscapes both inner and outer: the shape of a hillside, the texture of grief, the stubborn beauty of recovery.

Whether I’m crafting a story, reviewing an artist’s work, or guiding a writing group, my goal is the same—to honor the details that make us pay attention.

Creative Writing Classes & Workshops

"Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it." Mary Oliver

I believe writing begins with attention—to the way light moves through a room, the rhythm of footsteps, the crack in your own voice. My workshops help writers develop this awareness while refining their craft.
