Since then, she has taught writing and literature at Harvard, Tufts, and Boston College. Her essays and stories have appeared in The Gettysburg Review, Alaska Quarterly Review, Manoa, The Fiddlehead, Orchid, and other publications. Her fiction has garnered fellowships in Prague and St. Petersburg and was nominated for a Pushcart Prize by the late Andre Dubus.
