Writer. Observer. Activist.

Through my words and writing, I try to understand the world, seeing it through history and experience and empathy.

As a writer of a memoir and personal essays, my emotional and intellectual responses are my content; my use of words to tell the story is my art.

My eyes are always open to see between the pages of life. My experiences are a library of events, love, joy and loss. These moments in time have made me who I am, taught me to see the world from many points of view. The world is an amazing place, full of beauty and ugliness, nuanced and complex. I hope my knowledge and experience and quirkiness, expressed in the best words I can find, can focus a beam of understanding here or there.

“Human beings are fundamentally storytelling creatures. We do not simply recall our lives in narrative. We interpret them through narrative…stories are how we understand the world, how we pass on meaning, and how we build identity for ourselves and for those around us.”

—John Spencer
