i am a bird lover at heart. everything i write is always trying to find the connection between myself and the animal within me. if i had to guess, that animal is most likely a pigeon.

as a young writer, i spent most of my time on QuoteV and AO3, where i spent most of my time writing and reading about Percy Jackson, Dragon Age, and Young Justice. i remain ever so grateful for the commenters who left kudos on my work and commented such treasures as “omg yaaaas.”

in college, i found my flock— a group of amazing writers and literary minds without whom i would simply cease to exist. Lexi Rosen, Rhiannon Fisher, and Eric Enbom, you are my lifelines. together we founded Silly Goose Press, my beloved lit mag, of which i am the managing editor.

to my mfa program at the University of Washington - Bothell i am most grateful. i was and continue to be honored to be part of such an amazing group of writers, poets, and creatives.
