: About Me

I'm a senior at Emerson College, graduating in August with a Writing, Literature & Publishing degree.

I experience in many genres, including fiction, personal essay, journalism, magazine writing, drama, comedy, and sports writing.

I'm interning with a local Daily Newspaper, and hope to write for a local newspaper, magazine, or alternative newsweekly. My favorite topics to write about are music, travel, food, and sports.

I am a huge Red Sox and Boston Bruins fan, and write a lot of fiction and nonfiction about New England.

I love punk rock, indie rock, classic rock... all kinds of things. I'd say my top 3 bands right now are Buddy Holly, The Queers, and Juliana Hatfield. I have experience writing music reviews for a college newspaper, and Dig This Real, a music 'zine based out of New York City.

My hobbies are writing, playing guitar, cooking, playing baseball, candlepin bowling (i'm in a league!), poker, reading, and going to concerts.

Surf's Up, Boston! A giant, rolling blue wave crashes down like a pane of glass on the ocean floor. A long-haired surfer clad in a wetsuit comes barreling out of the whitewater, waving the "hang ten" symbol to his buddy, who responds by shouting out "gnarly ride, duuuuude!" No, these aren't Laguna Beach brats surfing in perfectly warm California water; it's a scene right out of our own backyard- New England. There are plenty of primo spots that are all a short drive from Boston, along New England's North Shore., You won't find those giant, plunging tube waves that are prevalent in epic Haw...
