Poet & Teacher
I've been directing the Poetry Center for three years. Part of my job is teaching as a Hands On Stanzas Poet In Residence. Making poetry with kids is awesome, and I love my work. Before PCC, I taught at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and was the founding editor of SAIC's literary magazine, Dear Navigator. Since I graduated from my MFA in Creative Writing in 2009, I've lived in Cairo and Chicago, and my work has been shown and published in Germany, Egypt, and the US.
