In addition to my professional work as a grant writer, I have also worked as a journalist and taught writing at the college level for over a decade. I'm adept at scholarly, journalistic, and critical writing for a variety of audiences with publications in specialized academic journals, newspapers, magazines, and on the internet. I am also passionate about adapting literature for the stage, focusing on transforming classic texts for contemporary audiences through the historical artform of literary burlesque with Noveltease Theatre.
