I'm a successful full-time staff writer at a national personal finance website where I've written more than 500 articles, accruing millions of page views. I freelance outside that realm — creative variety is very necessary. In general, I'm an expert reporter, writer, researcher, interviewer and fact-checker.

I began to write the characters I wanted to perform and I've been writing ever since. My performer passion gave way to my word nerd, and whilst I continued to write plays I halted the acting gig in favour of writing in every possible flavour, in every available minute.

I freelance as the Bluestone Scribe. My stories, poetry, articles, and miscellany have been published in anthologies, magazines, zines, and blogs. Though I mainly employ myself as an English Instructor and Copy-Editor, my passion is art or really anything that thrusts me into the mysterious expanses of language. I earned my BA in Comparative Literature at George Mason University and my MLitt in Creative Writing at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. I live in scenic upstate New York and take daily hikes into the woods with my wee family.
