“I’ve been writing for lifetimes.”

Working with words has always been something deeply connected to my sense of passion and curiosity. For the last decade+, I’ve worked with humans from around the world, of all ages, at different stages in their lives in cultivating their authentic creative expression through the written word. It has been incredible and illuminating. On this page are some of my own words, inspired by life, created to inspire life and all its meaningful possibilities into manifestation. Here, you’ll find poetry, nonfiction, creative + experimental nonfiction, fiction short stories, embodied poetry, and whatever else I want to present. Please enjoy.

I recently debuted my first book — a poetry collection. Check out “Poetry and the immediate: A collection of sensed spaces”, and enjoy your perusal.
