I'm a southern dyke living in Portland, Oregon.

 

I write poems

and prose about love, community, and queer futures.

​

My writing has been featured in Harbor Review and more. I have two masters degrees in writing—an MFA in Creative writing and

an MS in Technical

writing. 

 

I post new essays and poetry weekly on Substack 

and Instagram. Follow

me to read my latest

work.
