About Me:

I make a point to write nuanced characters, regardless of the topic of my work, because humans are not one dimensional. I tend to avoid archetypes, and I strive to inspire conversations, and present inquisitive questions rather than absolute answers. I aim to represent the world as it is, rather than appealing to any particular demographic. Oftentimes queerness is at play in my writing, but it is rarely the center, as queer people have stories beyond simply being queer. Through the stories I tell, I hope to provide an example of a better world, where we turn away from our fixations of our differences, and begin more nuanced conversations about our connections.
