She then taught a flash fiction writing course for the interdisciplinary component of Lesley’s low-residency MFA program, and she served as editor of the flash fiction section of Newfound.org. She also worked full time as a copyeditor and did freelance editing work as well.

Her stories have been published in The Glass Coin, Poplorish, and Bluestem, and have received honors from Glimmer Train and Ruminate. She is currently working on a middle grade novel about a magic dollhouse. She also has a few short stories and a poem or two in the works. She loves nature and animals, and recently learned on Radiolab that trees communicate via tiny fungus tubes in the soil.
