In high school, I turned that passion into reality by publishing my first novel, <em>At Center Line<\/em>, in 2016. Its sequel,<em> Beyond Center Line<\/em>, followed in 2020 as I began my senior year of undergrad. I&#8217;ve also been published in various literary magazines and journals with poetry and creative nonfiction. During my studies, I served as the Senior Fiction Editor for <em>Reed Magazine<\/em>, Issue 156, have worked as a writing tutor and writing professor, and have held positions in marketing and communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I earned my BA in English with a Writing emphasis and a Women Studies minor from Aquinas College. Recently, I completed my MFA in Creative Writing, with an emphasis in Fiction and Poetry, from San Jose State University. Alongside writing, I work as a dancer instructor and marketing professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I&#8217;m not writing or teaching, I\u2019m probably spending time with my dog, who encourages my writing everyday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit my \u201cBooks\u201d and \u201cAdditional Writing\u201d tabs for more information on my writing and publications.
