After undergraduate study at Kenyon College and the University of South Florida, she attended the CUNY Graduate Center. Besides Renaissance drama and 20th-century fiction, she loves podcasts, documentaries, Brooklyn parks, and her little dogs, Ruby and Benny.Her fantasy dinner-party guests would include:Christopher Marlowe, Virginia Woolf, William Faulkner, Dorothy Parker, Truman Capote, Lucille Ball, Carl Sagan, and Margaret Atwood.Teaching students to write with conviction is her perennial mission. One of her favorite pieces of wisdom comes from Annie Dillard in The Writing Life: "Why do you never find anything written about that idiosyncratic thought you advert to, about your fascination with something no one else understands? Because it is up to you. There is something you find interesting, for a reason hard to explain. It is hard to explain because you have never read it on any page; there you begin. You were made and set here to give voice to this, your own astonishment."
