I am a poet and teacher in the Seattle area. I hold an MFA in Poetry from Northwest Institute of Literary Arts (Whidbey Writers’ Workshop), and I work as an instructor of English as a Second Language.

I currently serve as Managing Editor for The Los Angeles Review , and Associate Poetry Editor for Fifth Wednesday Journal. I am also a book reviewer for  Women’s Review of Books. My poetry has been nominated for The Pushcart Prize, and my debut collection, Burn This House, is forthcoming from Red Hen Press.
