United Kingdom
I'm an American writer, editor and educator with a fondness for transatlantic culture clashes, strong coffee, and sentence-level precision. I contribute regularly to The American Magazine, where I write on language, theater, music, travel, cultural identity, and the absurdities that emerge when worlds collide.
My work combines commentary, humor, and memoir, and has also appeared in Practical Parenting, The Hackney Hive and I am about to be featured The National Association for Teachers of English blog.
