I was born in Birmingham, England, and now live in Boston, Massachusetts. I work at Boston Children’s Hospital and on faculty at Harvard Medical School. My memoir writing has appeared in Chicago Literary Review, The Philadelphia Review of Books, Halfway Down The Stairs, the anthology Shut Down Strangers and Hot Rod Angels (Bone & Ink Press). I am co-author of a chapter on the experience of women fans in Bruce Springsteen and Popular Music: Rhetoric, Memorial, and Contemporary Culture (Wolff, WW. Ed., Routledge: 2017). I am currently working on a memoir, American Romance, a coming of age story set in the shadow of the early AIDS epidemic
