(Just click below to check out my writing.)
My expertise is in supporting the arts through engaging and informative writing in local arts and cultural magazines, journals, and blogs. As a freelance arts & cultural writer, I interview and profile musicians, artists, actors, directors, and influencers.
I’ve been a reader my whole life, a lover of words and the worlds formed of words. It has only been in the last few years that I have felt the freedom and audacity to begin my own creative writing. I am currently playing with erasure and found poetry as well as short comedic and satirical pieces.
Reviewing plays, concerts, films, and books for a variety of publications, from academic journals to local arts newspapers is another one of my favorite modes of writing.
As a scholar of early modern English literature and drama, my academic writing brings the body and the senses to the forefront, highlighting phenomenological and subjective experiences.
I love talking to people. And I love speaking passionately about a variety of topics from Shakespeare to horror films. I will talk to almost anyone about almost anything. (Maybe not sports.)
