I’m a writer, editor and teacher from Los Angeles. I’ve also lived in Montana, New Orleans, Scotland and Australia. I have an M.F.A. in fiction from the University of Montana, where I was a Truman Capote Fellow.

I write essays about technology, natural disasters, addiction, travel and science. My fiction is about those things too but with more dogs. Some recent work is in Narrative, JoylandDIAGRAM, Los Angeles Review of Books, Sundog Lit, Mississippi Review, and The Master’s Review Anthology XI. I have upcoming fiction in New Ohio Review.

I’m currently a PhD candidate in fiction at the University of Houston. Find me on the road, on a plane, underwater, or watching British procedurals with my rescue pit, Phoebe.
