When she turned 30, she sold or gave away most of what she owned, stored her books, car and few other things with a friend, and backpacked all around Southeast Asia. Later, she taught for the University of Maryland’s overseas programs on military bases around the world, including Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Bosnia, Turkey, Egypt, Germany, Spain, and Okinawa, Japan, and traveled throughout those parts of the world. After returning to the US, she taught at various colleges in Washington D.C., Chicago, Vineland and Paterson, NJ, before finally settling down in Lancaster, PA, to teach. She has spent many summers since then traveling around the world to places like Sri Lanka and India, among others. Her works often reflect those travels, but also are about loss, grief, and alienation.
