I am a writer and mom of two. I received my MFA in Creative Writing, Nonfiction, from Antioch University LA in 2022, and was the recipient of the Association of Writers & Writing Programs (AWP) Intro Journals Project Award in Creative Nonfiction the same year, for an excerpt from my documentary style book “Yes/No: Conversations with My Son (working title). My work has appeared in MER (Mom Egg Review), HerStry, The Manifest Station, The Calendula Review (Issue 1), Tampa Review (Issue 63/64), Drunk Monkeys, and Today’s Parent, among others. 

As a transplant Torontonian, I consider myself a settler on indigenous land. I co-parent two teens, and raise our rescue dog, who hails from Mexico City, Jengibre (hen-he-brey).  

Spending time at Lake Ontario reminds us to slow down and be present.
