About Me

A curious creative with over forty years of experience exploring diverse thought and unconventional life paths. Winner of the Most Projects Still Incomplete Award 2023 and nominated twice for The Best Story You Don’t Yet Know About Me prize.

Lives outside of an undisclosed location, near multiple tired and inequitable cities, with her many viruses, a bunch of children, and a yoga mat.
