About Me

I write.

On edible things: food systems, the intersection of food and feminism, and the complex inner workings of the restaurant industry. My years as a pastry chef, wine student, and in other dynamic restaurant roles consistently inform my writing.

On non-edible: I like considering women at work, people obsessed with things, Los Angeles' effect on identity and dreamscape, disorienting travel…

My essay “I Carry My Weight in Groceries” was nominated for the Pushcart Prize in 2021. My story “Hunger” was a semi-finalist for the 2021 American Short Fiction Halifax Ranch Prize.

I’m a graduate from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, where I studied screenwriting, and from the MFA program in creative writing at the University of New Orleans.

My substack, Culinaria, is a place to explore and question what we’re eating. I’m currently working on a collection of short stories and a novel.
