I’m a writer from the rural West, currently living in Chicago. I’m an MFA student in the Litowitz Program for Creative Writing at Northwestern University. My work has been published in n+1, the Paris Review Daily, The Drift, and The Believer. In 2024, I received the StoryStudio Chicago Emerging Writers Award. I’m currently working on a novel and a book of essays.
I also edit documentary audio stories at The Dig Presents.
