In my creative nonfiction work, I explore subjects like estrangement, trauma, motherhood, belonging, and loss. My process is one of documentation and association: recording memories and events to then weave sense, theme, and question into them.
I am the editor of Broken Free: Essays About Cutting Ties, an anthology of contributor essays currently in development and seeking representation. My memoir manuscript is currently in revision.
Below are some of my publications.
