About

I grew up in Los Angeles and spent most of my twenties working in the travel industry in Chicago, New York, and Paris. Currently I’m a writer and artist based full-time in LA. I work in an art bookstore & live in the canyon with my two cats, Mulder & Scully.

In 2021, I received my MFA in Fiction from UC Riverside. In March 2023, I helped launch the Bombay Beach Literary Festival with a group of other writers based in southern California. My writing has been published in The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Air/Light Magazine, Alta Journal, Off Assignment, GXRL, and more. My artwork has been exhibited at The Brand Library & Art Center and Woman Made Gallery. I was awarded the 2024 Elizabeth George Grant for my novel-in-progress.
