Writing.
I’m a writer from Lake Elsinore, California, where the IHOP is located next to the graveyard. I am an alumna of PEN America’s 2024 Emerging Voices Workshop LA, and I currently split my time between the inland desert and San Bernardino mountains. I have degrees in creative writing from Texas Tech University and the University of California, Riverside, and I’m currently working on a novel inspired by my hometown.
