I have over ten years of teaching and professional writing experience, the last four of which came as a lecturer in the English Department at the University of Illinois. My current teaching and writing interests include prose poetry, flash creative nonfiction, playwriting, teleplays, and screenplays.

During the 2016-2017 academic year, I will be teaching workshops at the Blackbird Studio for Writers in Portland, OR. More information about those classes can be found via the link in this description.

Private instruction, including full poetry manuscript consultations, are available at negotiable rates. Please feel free to contact me via this Contact page or the email icon above.
