I’m a storyteller who grew up in Santa Fe and Chamisal, New Mexico. After spending nine years in Boston, I’m now based in Austin, Texas.

I have an incredible spouse who’s a medical social worker, Jewish learning enthusiast, and heavy metal bassist. Together we have a delightful one-year-old who loves music, stacking cups, and staring directly into your soul for long periods of time without blinking. We are owned by a neurotic grey cat named Juniper. 

who i am

I write about and for weirdos who live in between, and the way their (our) inbetweenness unshackles magic. I’m fascinated by the challenge of embodying the mystical in idiosyncratic, mundane ways.
 
I write because I believe stories have the power to decenter the powerful. We desperately need narratives that cherish people and ideas that our dominant culture calls profane.

​I write because it forces me out of my comfort zone, deepens my values of gratitude and empathy, forces me to constantly listen more, listen more, listen more. I write worlds where realism includes what’s beyond the seen, worlds where language carries meaning but also rhythm and music and physical power. I write to create vessels for performers who otherwise never get to play people like themselves onstage.
