Highlights

I have always loved words, hearing and feeling melody, texture and form in what I read and write. Writing is my deepedt means of self-expression, and connecting with a reader has become a great satisfaction. Yet my emergence as a writer was fraught with some difficulty. In early childhood I struggled with dyslexia and navigated the waters of adolescence with less than steady confidence. Today in my work as a literacy instructor and writer, I continue to grow through my interactions with students and readers.
