I’m a writer from New Jersey, currently living in Newark with my son. I’m also a writing instructor at Seton Hall University.

My book Back Like I Never Left is a collection of true stories about dating as a single mother. It’s available at the Montclair Book Center and on Amazon and in person if we cross paths.

I also write poetry/flash non-fiction. “Repeat Visitor” is about bringing my son to jail visitation. I have a few others out as videos: “This Love Will Undo Us All,” “Pill Poppin’ Animal,” & “Pregnant in Grad School.”

I’ve written on other topics as well, like solo travel and poetry, dating for money, dating just to eat, policing as violence, and intimate partner violence.
