Bio 

As a writer, editor, elementary school teacher, and animation producer, I have worked to distill facts
into fun. In my current role as a freelance curriculum editor, I  plan and produce classroom materials in social studies, language arts, mathematics, and science.

In April 2009, some of my "fun facts" for kids are available in print, in Ladybug Magazine, and in the Fandex Family Field Guide: Bugs. In 2007, I self-published a small-run poetry book,   Ferry Ride,with co-author, Carol Cartier.  At  the 2007 Stonecoast Writers Conference, I received the conference's inaugral Stonecoast Poetry Prize, and in 2008, received honorable mention from the Maine Literary Awards. I’m always brewing new articles, poems, and children’s stories. If you’d like to read some, please see my  samples, or send word.
