I am currently splitting time between my longtime home of Portland, OR and my new home, Casita Mojave, near Joshua Tree, CA.
My latest work is a new series titled Night Stories, a growing collection of short stories, essays, and meditations on life as a solo mother in the California desert.

It is my great honor to continue creating art this summer
After applying with selections from Night Stories, I was selected to attend the Screenwriting track at VONA’s 2023 Summer Workshop with Njila Mumin this past July.
I was also awarded a two month long artist residency with Centro Cultural that is currently running through August. This residency will capture the creative process, the work, the craft and the release.
my work with racial equity & the environment
I was recently interviewed about my work in diversity, equity and inclusion in the outdoors for Oregon Humanities, also featured in High Country News.
“How much lighter would you feel moving through the world if you show up and you see all your people there, and you don’t have to feel that dread or that low-grade anxiety or that panic?”
