bio

I graduated from Temple University with a Masters in Media Studies and Certificate in Creative Writing in 2019. My academic writing has been featured in textbooks including Media Environments and Handbook on Global Media Ethics. I won the Lew Klein College of Media’s ‘best media criticism’ award in 2018 and was selected for the Spring 2024 Futurescapes workshop.

My love of stories began with my dad’s fantastical bedtime tales and was nurtured by a big, loud family with a tendency to heavily ‘embellish’ stories for dramatic effect.

I work in PR, building public health education campaigns to encourage vaccination.

I keep carnivorous plants, practice a bit of witchcraft, and train for long-distance swims. I live in Philadelphia with my partner, who provides daily inspiration for every romantic lead I write.
