Projects And Creative Work

2008-Present. This section covers creative and literary work and is not intended to be my professional resume, which includes my professional and educational information. I will say that my graduate degree in public administration and non-profit management (MPA, New York University) relates to many of the projects below and I believe that my professional background has enhanced my ability to accomplish certain goals, in tandem with my work life.

Present: Editor In Chief and Director of Full Of Crow Press And Distribution, a literary arts organization that promotes the appreciation of the written word. What began as an online project in 2009 has evolved into an organization, with print and web projects, distribution, events, and more. This year we are working on our status and hope to raise the funds necessary to continue our current projects and perhaps raise more money for events.

I am so grateful to the editors and team members who work so hard to bring poetry, fiction, art, interviews, and more to this space that I am so proud of. I will start by describing a little bit of what I do and how I fit into the mix with these various productions.

I produce and manage Full Of Crow Press And Distribution, which is a non-profit, independent small press and distribution organization. FOC Press consists of various editors, and we produce both web and print content. To find out more, see below for a link to more detailed information about Full Of Crow and Full Of Crow Press And Distribution.
