ABOUT ME

I identify as a queer woman (pronouns she/her/hers), storyteller, and agent for change. I believe in challenging interlocking systems of oppression and working together for radical liberation. I seek to cultivate learning and growth, and create spaces where humans can thrive as their authentic selves.

Ask me where I’m from, and I’ll typically answer that it’s “complicated.” I identify pretty strongly as a proud Iowan, though I’ve found and made homes in North Carolina, northern Virginia, Kansas City, Omaha, and most recently Fort Collins, Colorado.

Coming from the plains, my spouse and I are grateful to enjoy all that the mountains here have to offer in hiking, biking, and fishing. (Okay, they fish. I bring a book.) Indoors, you can often find me reading, baking, knitting, streaming too much television, and/or completing the daily NYT Spelling Bee. We are bad millennials who enjoy being child-free and prefer caring for a troupe of small animals; we are currently cohabitating with two sassy rabbits, a pair of cheerfully loud guinea pigs, and a chronically sleepy hedgehog. They are the best part of my day.
