Writer and editor

Working with a local, nonprofit literary organization, Benicia Literary Arts for most of the last decade, I've planned events, taught poetry and memoir classes. I use InDesign to produce manuscripts for publication. Working with the city, Bookshop Benicia, the library, Arts Benicia, and other organizations and businesses in town, we've helped to further Benicia's image as a unique place for the arts.

In addition, I am a cofounder of Carquinez Village, an organization that serves older adults with direct help and activities to keep seniors engaged in their community.
