About me

I grew up outside of Los Angeles, CA (USA), studied Politics and English Lit and pursued public service working for a U.S. Senator in Boston, teaching special education in Teach for America New Orleans core, and studying Urban Policy and Nonprofit management at NYU in New York City. After working for the City of NY in the sweet Giuliani days, I traveled around the world in 2001 and moved to San Francisco to become a writer. I met a Frenchie and moved to Paris in 2010 while attending an MFA in fiction writing program near Asheville, NC (USA). For five years I presented and developed many different walks with a big tour operation while founding the Yefe Nof Residency for writers, researchers, and designers in Lake Arrowhead, California. I started Moontown Walking Travel in 2018, the year I joined here. I specialize in Paris and virtual walks, and am seeking to grow in all ways, always.
