My short stories and poetry have been published in Pemmican, The Salal Review, Triggerfish Critical Review, Mobius: The Journal of Social Change, and The Rising Phoenix Review. I’ve worked as a carpenter’s apprentice (on Mt. St Helens’ bridge number 11), a greenhouse assistant, massage therapist, and waitress. Now I teach in The Writing Program at University of Texas at San Antonio. In 2010, I earned an MFA from the Rainier Writing Workshop at Pacific Lutheran University.
