Personal statement:
This is my eighth year
at UNCA. Although relocating to Asheville should have been a shock to my
system (after 12 years of living in Manhattan), I'm enjoying the calm
pace and beautiful surroundings. I’ve been the recipient of
writer-in-residency fellowships from Virginia Center for the Creative
Arts, Cottages at Hedgebrook, Yaddo, The Ragdale Foundation, and Blue
Mountain Center. At UNCA, I’m the faculty advisor for the literary arts
magazine, Headwaters. Also, I’m the organizer of the F-Word Film
Festival (A Celebration of Images By and About Women but For All
Audiences). This year will mark its 7th anniversary. |
