About

I am a fiction and nonfiction writer whose work explores identity, culture, science, technology, and the unseen systems that shape everyday life. With a professional background in technology and a lifelong curiosity about how people survive and connect, I write stories and essays that illuminate overlooked ideas and misunderstood experiences.

I have a B.A. in Video Game & Multimedia Design, a B.A. in English Literature and Writing, and an M.A. in Science Writing from Johns Hopkins University. My nonfiction work received recognition from the Willamette Writers’ Kay Snow Writing Contest, and my fiction and essays span speculative storytelling, literary reflection, and cultural critique.

The world keeps getting dumped upside down and shook out as though a deranged maniac with a snow globe fixation is looking for a magic 8 ball answer. Each time I think it's safe to move back into writing, something else happens and I'm shut down for months on end again. Now that AI is here, it's a perfect time to step in with my utterly imperfect human-made shit. Also, I'm in middlehood where it's within my rights to run about in fully unhinged goblin mode.

I work as a technologist in higher education and am an avid reader across most genres. I live in the Pacific Northwest where I do many of the PNWerly things we're known for doing, except pickleball.
