I’m a writer, designer, journalist, digital humanist, and media producer from Northern California, based in Chicago, Illinois. I manage design and web development at EdSource, where I work on investigative journalism and data reporting projects in addition to day-to-day digital newsroom operations. I also write fiction, essays and criticism. I studied creative writing at San Francisco State University, where I earned a BA. More recently, I earned a Master’s degree in English Studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I have published eleven short stories to date, in journals including Catamaran, Crannog and Stone Canoe. My nonfiction has appeared in many sources including EdSource, PopMatters, LAist, and Full Stop.
