Well Hi!

As someone passionate about crafting engaging poetry and prose, I am grateful for the recognition received for my chapbook, Failure To Merge, which explores the self, I-35, and societal themes through epistolary poetry.

Beyond writing, my role as a workshop leader allows me to support and mentor budding writers in the Twin Cities with empathy and expertise. I am also dedicated to fostering a vibrant literary community as I continue to work with different chapters of the League of Minnesota Poets. With a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Texas State University, I hope to contribute meaningfully to the literary landscape.
