I am a writer and mom of two. My work has appeared in The Manifest Station, The Calendula Review (Issue 1), Tampa Review (Issue 63/64), Drunk Monkeys, Today’s Parent, The Mighty, and the Firefly Friends Community Blog. A transplant Torontonian, I live with my two children (tween and teen!), my son’s service dog, Ewok, and our rescue  from Mexico City, Jengibre (hen-he-brey).  Spending time at Lake Ontario reminds us to slow down and be present. I have an MFA in Creative Writing, Nonfiction, from Antioch University LA and am the recipient of the AWP Intro Journals Project Award in Creative Nonfiction, 2022, for an excerpt from my book project, “Yes/No: Conversations with My Son.”
