I'm a storyteller. For all ages.
I love writing and performing from a place of joy and to shine a light on mothering, as well as Jewish families and life for all young readers. I hold a special place in my writer’s heart for the Jewish kids who live in small towns. I was one of those kids and so are my three daughters.
I’m an active member of SCBWI Rocky Mountain Chapter. I was recently selected to be one of 20 participants in the inaugural 2022 PJ Library Emerging Jewish Picture Books Writers retreat held at the Highlights Foundation. I hold a MFA in Writing and Poetics from Naropa University, as well as a B.S.S. in Theater from Northwestern University. Additionally, I've worked privately with Sarah Aronson and Lesléa Newman.
I was recently a featured performer in the Longmont Outloud's Momedy Escape from the Holidays show. I've also had my work performed by The Braid, Los Angeles-based non profit theater dedicated to bringing Jewish stories to life.
My work has been anthologized in So Glad They Told Me: Women Get Real About Motherhood (HerStories Project Press, 2016), Best Short Stories from the Saturday Evening Post Great American Fiction Contest (2015), and Primal Picnics: Writers Invent Creation Myths Around Favorite Foods (Whole World Press, 2011). I've published a number of articles, interviews, and profiles including, PJ Library Proof Magazine, Tablet, Kveller, Jewish Journal, The Jewish Telegraph, Tiferet Journal, Sydney Taylor Shmooze, and MindBodyGreen. Check out my "words" page to read the articles!
Lastly, I'm a semi-empty nester (yay!) and am happy to call Longmont, Colorado home, enjoying a constant view of the Rocky Mountains. When I'm not writing, I can be found walking on the trails with our border collie, Callie.
