| I hold an MFA from the University of Pittsburgh’s Creative
Nonfiction writing program. I also serve as a creative
nonfiction editor for Trillium Literary Journal. In my primary writing project right now, I’ve been able to blend my love of creative writing with my passion for education—particularly that of low-income children. My manuscript, High Water Rising: One Community’s Modern-Day Struggle to Maintain Integrated Schools, follows several families involved in Wake County, North Carolina’s attempts to integrate schools by socioeconomic status. This plan, in response to court rulings limiting the use of racial integration, has been both effective and extraordinarily controversial. If you are interested in these issues, please contact me. |
