An American-French-Israeli hybrid, I write about identity, language, home. While raising kids in the San Francisco Bay Area at the dawning of the internet, I worked as copy editor/editor/content writer for BabyCenter, PlanetRx, and many other now obsolete .coms. But I dreamed of seeing my name on paper, in print, eventually writing for Parenting, Parents, Alternative Medicine/Natural Solutions, Scholastic, Woman’s Day, Real Simple. Then, in the early 2000s, my interests changed. The back-page essays lured me. Who were these first-person voices and how did they tell such moving stories? Curious and on the opposite coast, I enrolled in creative nonfiction. One, which led to another, and then another, finally culminating in my MFA in Writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts (2014-2016). Thank you so much to each of my four mentors–Douglas Glover, Patrick Madden, Barbara Hurd, and Connie Mae Fowler–for teaching me something different and dear, bolstering me to walk this path as writer.
