Currently in Kentucky, I will be heading to rural Tennessee for a writing residency at Sarasvati, where I will socialize donkeys, volunteer at the elephant sanctuary, and be part of the Buffalo Recovery Community. Most recently I earned a grant to work on my nonfiction book Check Mates.
A portion of memoir "Hail Mary To Kentucky" was published in an anthology of (HER)oics: Women's Shared Experiences During The Coronavirus Pandemic: https://www.regalhousepublishing.com/heroics/
I'm also working on a fiction book of short stories called The AA Convention Had A Dunking Booth and publishing my chess teaching bible (a fictional story with chess lessons woven throughout)
Still teaching writing and chess online, my most recent writing class she offered was "Write like a Chess Player" was with Free Expressions.

An award-winning, critically-acclaimed writer & performer, co-founder/co-Artistic Director of now paused Slightly Altered States theater company & former Artistic Director of 20,000 square-ft media & performance venue in Long Island City, NYC The IArc where I co-facilitated there, among other things, the first live 24hr reading of The Mueller Report which livestreamed worldwide, and Elizabeth Warren's infamous 'Break Up The Tech' talk.
A former scholastic chess champion, I've taught chess in NYC schools since I was 13 and, recently diagnosed with ADHD myself, for the last 7 years I've specialized in teaching chess in schools for special needs children which has furthered her deep investment in changing the way autism is portrayed in media and entertainment. I'm working on having her writing be accessible in podcast form as well as video and written in order to promote accessibility. As a writer, storyteller, and producer, I foster and creates productions that include neurodiverse casts and creative teams. My work reflects the diverse world we live in, in processes that are inclusive of those whose stories are being presented. I'm most interested in how we look at the world, each other, and our own lives, and how we avoid looking at it; how we connect, communicate, and learn. Or fail to. And try to. Rinse, repeat.
B.A. in Utopias and Dystopias from NYU/Gallatin which turned into her traveling across the country visiting Intentional Communities and then having to strip in New Orleans at Big Daddy's to make her way back, which turned into a book called The Boho Girls.
MFA in playwriting from Hunter College where she was mentored by Tina Howe, Arthur Kopit, and Samuel D. Hunter.
