Who I am

I live in Vancouver with my family, and a black Labrador retriever who believes every walk should last forever (he's usually right). I write about the things that refuse to let go of me, and the quiet belief that love might be the only thing that survives everything else.

I'm drawn to stories that take their time, that trust readers to sit with complexity. When I'm not writing, I'm usually recording music in my makeshift home studio, or falling down YouTube rabbit holes about guitar effects pedals I absolutely do not need but will probably buy anyway.

I also think about baseball far more than any functional adult should. The Mariners break my heart annually, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

St. John's Bread is my first novel, but I've been writing toward it my whole life—through copywriting, poetry, failed screenplays, and countless notebooks filled with scenes I didn't yet know how to finish. I believe in finding family in the things you love, and in the radical act of showing up for people even when (especially when) showing up is hard.

If you're here, you're already part of that family. Thank you for reading.
