My writing tends to gravitate around the emotional literary fiction zone, exploring themes like youth, grief and identity, but with hope. My love of writing craft has developed alonside an existential need to write in order to figure out what's underneath and between. With writing, I explore the nuances and contradictions of human feeling. 

My current project, Stride, has helped me manage the complex feelings of having received a diagnosis of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 in my thirties. It sucks, but it has also been vindicating and perspective-changing for the young girl who navigated the world pathologized and confused while unknowingly having a physical condition. The strangest part is how an inability to feel allowed to exist in the world has disappeared after corrective surgeries. Now I have all these safe, fine angers as I reshape my view on the past and future. I reckon I'm surfing the waves now, just hanging loose and cruising. But I'm pulling a big ol' thumbs down at the ways society silences both boys and girls.

I've been writing since youth, and I have two Diplomas in Creative Writing, gained roughly decades apart because life's a juggle.
