Brief Biographical Sketch:

I have been fascinated by literature all my life and I pursued this interest as an English Literature major at the University of Colorado--Boulder, where I focused my studies on Postmodern Literary Theory. After several years of teaching preschool and enjoying the Rocky Mountains I moved to Boston in 2007. I enjoy running, traveling and playing board games with friends.
