About Me

 I grew up in the Midwest, where I developed a lifelong fascination with the hidden lives of ordinary people. Whether writing about the quiet corners of rural Kansas or the shifting silhouettes of New York City, I am drawn to stories about unconventional beauty and finding symmetry in the unexpected.  

I received my MLA in Creative Writing & Literature from Harvard University. My first novel, Inside Henry Cato, is forthcoming in 2026. I've also completed a collection of short stories titled They Die Different Here, and I'm currently working on my second novel.

I was a featured screenwriter at New York’s 26th Annual IFP Market for my original screenplay, Confessions of a Dead Woman. My screenplay Killing Bull was awarded first place in the Screenwriters Online Master Class.

I  live in New York and Pennsylvania with my husband Paul, and an ever-sprawling collection of books. Interested in learning more about my work? Please send me a message via the contact form on this website. Thank you!

After many years in San Francisco and New York, my husband and I bought a partially refurbished warehouse/factory in Philadelphia at the start of the 2020 pandemic. In addition to finding inspiration for our own creative endeavors, we house a maker studio and gallery. When we're not writing, painting or building in Philly, you can find us in the West Village and other parts of New York City breathing in the energy and vitality that almost no other place on earth can deliver.
