About Me

I grew up in New York City in a deeply Zionist family that raised me to love not only Israel but its culture and language as well. As an undergraduate at Barnard College, I studied Hebrew literature with Dan Miron, Yael Feldman, and Isaac Eisenstein-Barzilay, then went on to receive a Master of Arts in Hebrew literature from New York University and a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing from Lesley University.

I live in Cleveland, Ohio, and spend several months a year in Israel, where two of my children live.
