About

I am a memoirist, essayist, poet and teacher whose passion is keeping a notebook. My notebook is my muse and my alter ego. It contains snippets of my life and from the world around me. My hobbies include writing, writing and more writing, but when I have extra time, I enjoy reading, walking, hiking, yoga, working out, cooking and hanging out with my family and Maltese Poodle, Spunky.

In order not to become ensconced by the glare of my computer screen, I also teach at UCLA Extension Writers’ Studio and the Santa Barbara Writers’ Conference, as well as to many community groups.
