Aside from a year spent in Florida following grad school, and a sabbatical in D.C. a year ago, I’ve lived in Michigan my entire life. I was raised in the sweet little town of Grand Ledge, attended Central Michigan University and Michigan State University. I currently live with my husband in an old, treelined East Lansing neighbourhood. I work for the Lansing Public Schools—initially as a speech/language pathologist, later as a high school guidance counsellor, and now as a homebound teacher.
