I’m a poet, editor, creative thinker, and mother. I love telling stories, exploring the depths of imagination, and making art. I live in Northern California and think it’s one of the most beautiful places on earth.

I run an independent publication called The Rebis, an annual print anthology that explores the depth & diversity of tarot, one card at a time.

My personal project is //understories//, where I write poetry & nonlinear lyrical essays about intimacy, loneliness, belonging, memory, portals, time travel, private underworlds & the exquisite aches of living, loving, and parenting through times of crisis.

My writing has appeared in online literary magazines including Strange Pilgrims, Luna Luna Magazine, Variant Literature, Penumbra, and elsewhere. My poetry has also been published in print anthologies including The Country in the Mirror: Poems of Protest & Witness (Rootstock Publishing, 2026), Humana Obscura (Fall 2025), Gather: Selected Poems (2025), Songs of Revolution: Poems Against Oppression (Sunday Mornings at the River, 2025), and The Spell Jar: Piercing the Veil (Indie Earth Books, 2025).

I’m a member of the Gather Poets community and co-host of the Gather Poets podcast, where I chat with writers, publishers, and agents about the way poems move from the page into the world.

I also serve as Secretary and Board Member for Albany SchoolCARE, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides long-term funding support for schools across the Albany Unified School District.

Talk to me about some of my favorite things: tarot, creativity, eroticism, redwood trees, outer space, time travel, lost civilizations, lucid dreaming, rose gardening, horseback riding, and (of course) poetry.
