I’m a writer of fiction, poetry, and essays living in New York’s Capital Region. I serve as Head of Communications at the Tang Museum at Skidmore College. I’m also at work on a novel rooted in my Filipino heritage and family stories.
My writing has appeared in journals and anthologies including Event, Eye to the Telescope, MacroMicroCosm, Thimble Literary Magazine, Weirdbook, and Long Hidden: Speculative Fiction from the Margins of History. It has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and the Rhysling Award. Support along the way has included residencies at Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, grants from NYFA and other state arts agencies, and workshops with the New York State Writers Institute.
Before focusing more fully on literary writing, I worked in journalism, including at daily newspapers. That background still informs the way I pay attention to people, place, and the textures of ordinary life. I studied journalism at Northwestern’s Medill School and creative writing at the University of Pittsburgh.
