I hold a deep appreciation for storytelling and its ability to connect people across time and experiences. My writings have found homes in various publications where I explore the intricacies of human connection and resilience.

My educational journey led me to the Pacific University MFA Program, where I had the privilege of studying under the guidance of Scott Korb. This experience has profoundly shaped my approach to writing, enriching my perspective and fueling my creative endeavors.

I have done writing workshops and residencies with Rachel Howard, Molly Fisk, Chris Abani, the Community of Writers, Alison Wearing, and Elizabeth Rosner.
