From journalism degree, to writing health insurance benefit schlock in a glassy Los Angeles high-rise, to twelve years in advertising copywriting to finally writing whatever I want, which always seems to gravitate toward dissecting my family’s history and habits, and then pretending everything is made up.

Also a mom, wife, runner, and MFA candidate at Bennington College, I blog about the trials of juggling such precious things at www.halfassedmom.com.
