I’m a queer poet, educator, social worker, and game designer based in San Francisco.

My poem, “County Fairs,” was selected by Sarah Ghazal Ali as the Winner of the 2025 Pleiades Prufer Poetry Prize. Also, my poem, “In the Courthouse,” was selected as a Finalist by Natasha Rao for the 2023 Resistance and Resilience Prize for Palette Poetry.

Some places you’ll find my work: the Guggenheim Museum in New York, Pleiades (forthcoming), The MacGuffin, The Black Fork Review, Sonora Review, and more.

I hold a Masters of Social Work from Columbia University, Masters of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Virginia Commonwealth University, and Bachelors of Arts from the University of Southern California.
