I’m a writer and illustrator. My writing and illustrated pieces have appeared in The New Yorker, McSweeneys, Prism International and more. In 2023, I was nominated for a Pushcart for my short fiction piece, Another Place.

I’ve worked for over fifteen years in the field of social work, particularly with people who are struggling with trauma, addictions, the justice system, and homelessness. I live in Montreal with my two young children and partner and I’m working on my first novel.
