I've worked at schools, universities, foundations, non-profits, summer camps, a management consulting firm, a restaurant, a vegetable store, and a swimming pool.
I've directed a communications department, a research program, a writing program, a teacher education program, and a summer camp; gotten tenure; and raised a lot of money.
I've taught writing, literature, humanities, women's studies, education, English as a Second Language, and swimming.
I've climbed Mount Katahdin, rafted down the Grand Canyon, run two marathons, and snuck into an empty pyramid in Giza.
I’ve got a B.A. from Yale and a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley, both in English.
I’ve been Clerk of the Board of the Farm and Wilderness Foundation, President of the Board of the Arlington Education Foundation, and a Board Member at the Stratford Ecological Center. I’m taking a break from boards right now, but I might succumb to a great offer.
I live with my husband in Arlington, Massachusetts, where my two daughters occasionally show up.
