About Me
I'm a writer and editor based in Toronto, Ontario. Originally from Northern California, I spent time in Grand Rapids, Michigan and Waterloo, Ontario before settling in Toronto. I hold an MA in English Literature from the University of Toronto, where I won the E.J. Pratt Poetry Medal and the University of Toronto Magazine alumni poetry contest. I have been previously published widely across Canada and work in corporate communications. My debut poetry collection, Doubter's Hymnal, was published in summer 2019 from Mansfield Press.
