Why did you decide on Arcadia to advance your education? I liked the flexibility of a low-residency MFA program. It was more financially feasible as I had an increased ability to work throughout the program, and, of course, the Edinburgh residency.

What’s next for you? I am moving from St. Louis back to Pennsylvania! I will continue to pursue my writing, submitting my work as much as possible, and revising my thesis to be ready to query agents. Also, I am taking time to spend with family and refocus myself in my post-academic career!

Hobbies: Embroidery, walking through cemeteries, and playing board games
