I’m a writer, photographer, and gardener raised in the ravaged heart of 1970s/1980s Hollywood and now living in New York’s Hudson Valley. My ex-Berliner other half and I are slowly renovating an 1840s farmhouse perched on the village parade route, under the watchful eye of two delinquent cats.

Recently I completed Advice to Adventurous Girls, a manuscript inspired by the unpublished archive of Kansas farm girl turned motorcycle daredevil Lillian LaFrance. The project began as a documentary film that screened internationally in festivals and museums, including Sundance and the Guggenheim, where it somehow shared the bill with an episode of CHiPs.

My writing has appeared in Tin House, The Believer, McSweeney’s and on National Public Radio’s Berlin Stories. I've received grants from the Jerome Foundation and Film Arts Foundation, and a MacDowell Fellowship.

IRL you'll likely find me dropping down an archival rabbit hole, greeting unsuspecting creatures in the garden, or dancing in a perpetually half-finished kitchen.

Online, the best place to find me is on Substack via the link above. There I write about staying vivid in difficult times — not despite grief and strangeness, but through it.

Yours in glittering resistance~
