About Me

I am a Maine-based writer and editor. I grew up in New Hampshire and received my B.A. in English from the College of William & Mary, where I minored in anthropology and studied Irish Literature at the National University of Ireland, Galway. Before moving to Maine, I lived in New York City and worked for Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

I write short stories, essays, and the occasional poem that examines the intersection of human relationships, memory, history, and the environment.

I am currently at work on my first book, a hybrid memoir centered in a 1918 letter of adoption found in my great-grandmother’s desk.

I do occasional freelance editing (this has ranged from a full conservation manuscript for Island Press to a deck of tarot cards for a local massage therapist). I am the editor and lead writer for Under the Sun, a monthly newsletter and blog for ReVision Energy. You can usually find me skiing, hiking, and exploring rivers across Maine, NH, and Vermont.
