Hi, I’m Kimberly!

I’m a freelance writer and writing instructor with a MFA in Creative Nonfiction dedicated to helping you pay attention to your daily life so you can live a more thoughtful, meaningful, and faithful life.

When I’m not writing, I tutor and teach college writing at Fairleigh Dickinson University. I also lead workshops at events/retreats and host retreats for women, as well as run a small online shop creating digital products for writers called The Writer’s Work Shoppe.

I live with my husband and our 60lb lap dog, Jack, in central New Jersey, where we’re learning to adjust to a new season of life together after raising our three kids. I love words in every iteration, art, traveling to far flung destinations, anti-racism, yoga, contemplative spiritual practices, churches who welcome all to the table of God (including our LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters), students who read the syllabus, English gardens, poetry, and the lifelong pursuit of beauty.
