I am a writer, book worker, and educator based in Austin, Texas. I’m the Sales and Marketing Assisstant at the University of Texas Press, where I was previously the 2023-24 Publishing Fellow. I have an MFA in creative writing from Northern Arizona University.
I write a blog called good consumer::. I was previously the copyeditor and indexer for Object Lessons, a book series published by Bloomsbury. I’ve taught creative nonfiction and composition classes at the college level and my work has appeared in Guernica, The Rumpus, The Millions, the New Orleans Review, and elsewhere. I’ve organized in community spaces, including the University Union of Northern Arizona. Coverage about my work with the union can be found here and here.
My editorial and teaching philosophies are informed by radical pedagogies about writer autonomy and freedom, as well as community organizing-based practices. My editorial work spans a range of texts, including long-form works of philosophy, personal narrative nonfiction, and critical theoretical texts. In my spare time I write about culture, labor, and identity.
