About

My writing has appeared in the North American Review, Ninth Letter, Cutleaf, the Banyan Review, the Cimarron Review, the Hyacinth Review, and Midwestern Gothic. I work as a research editor in economics and have previously been a genealogist, archivist, teacher, and translator.

My visual art has been exhibited at the Lawrence Arts Center in Lawrence, Kansas, and has appeared in Contemporary Collage Magazine.

I grew up in rural Iowa and now live in Kansas City, Missouri, where I volunteer at a historic cemetery, watch birds, and make art with the support of my husband and despite my cats.
