I love working with other writers. I hold a PhD in Education from the University of London and a Masters in Creative Writing from the University of Oxford. I have taught at a wide range of levels from community workshops to postgraduate courses in both the UK and US. My academic research focuses on experiential learning and this informs my approach as an educator and mentor. I also serve as the principal researcher for a national center, collaborating with colleges across the US.

A keen advocate of the importance of work-life balance, I celebrate being outdoors and spend as much time as I can in Vermont's mountains and forests. A perennial student, my latest venture is learning how to use a chain saw!
