Originally from Chicago, I arrived in Switzerland in 2006, relieved to discover a country where people can actually pronounce my name (but scared as heck to be called a Hausfrau). My essays and articles have appeared everywhere from The Christian Science Monitor to Swiss News, where I write the monthly "Expat Adventure" column. I have also served as a correspondent for National Geographic's glimpse.org, been commissioned to write and perform a corporate drama for World Radio Switzerland, and my essays have appeared in several best-selling anthologies. Last year I received the Rosalie Fleming Memorial Humor Prize for my satire on the airline industry (but it's easy to make fun of the airlines so I don't know if this counts).
I am also at work on a memoir about life in Switzerland.
In 2010, I co-founded the Zurich Writers Workshop.
