I hold an M.F.A. in creative nonfiction from the University of Arizona. My essay, “Tangle of Lines,” won honorable mention in the 2014 Gulf Coast Prize in Nonfiction, judged by John D’Agata, and was recently published in the spring 2015 issue of Creative Nonfiction. I have also been published in The Ithaca Times, California Literary Review, EcoChronicle Sonora, and an anthology of travel writing called The Places We’ve Been: Field Reports From Travelers Under 35.
