About

Born in Missouri, USA. I have lived nearly my entire adult life as a foreigner in the Netherlands. I studied languages because they’re what I am good at, and then literature because it one of the few things I truly love.

Writings

I have published in two textbooks on culture for HBO students in the Netherlands. One, Aspects of the USA, is completely my own. I also write fiction and poetry.

Education

For more than a decade I have been an English teacher in three different countries. Currently, I am a teacher of English Literature and Culture at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences at their School of Education. I am the chair of the Culture and Literature Department.
