I am a graduate The University of Washington's M.F.A. program in creative writing, where I also currently teach composition. I received an M.A. in English Literature from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, AZ in Winter 2003 and a B.A. in English/Art from Wheaton College in 2000. Currently, I am blessed to live in Seattle, Washington. You can read my full Cirriculum Vitae (coming soon).
If the minstrels are to be believed, I was born at the dawning of the age of Aquarius, and, conveniently, am one. There's a picture here.

English
In 2003-2004, I taught in the English Department at Northern Arizona University. I have a web page for courses I teach at NAU.
In 2005, I was a post-graduate fellow at the University of Washington's Rome Center.
Currently, I am making poems, learning Italian, and gearing up to begin the Ph.D.
My primary scholarly interests include
Poetry Writing and Criticism
British Romanticism
Modernist American Poetry
though in practice, they are much broader, amateurish even. I care deeply about city-planning, German post-expressionism, Abstraction and the New York School of Painting, Architecture, England, Public Transit, Contemporary and Historical Theology, and Photography.
Yoga
For two years, I taught beginning through advanced Yoga in a blend of Hatha and Ashtanga styles at Northern Arizona University and, briefly, and the University of Washington. I am certified through YogaFit, and recieved most of my training from Devorah Spadone.
