My Background

I feel like I’ve had a lot of interesting experiences in my life (well, of course I do, it’s my life). I’ve worked in economics, psycholinguistics, music, publishing, graphic design, fashion, mental health, healthcare, disability advocacy, and education. I’ve met people from so many different perspectives that it kind of blows my mind.

As an amateur writer, I feel I’ve been fairly successful. I’ve been published a few times – I wrote the title story in a collection of short stories. I have been published at Autostraddle, a fairly popular lesbian entertainment/news website. I have worked with the Autistic Self Advocacy Network communications team to provide autism-related resources to the autistic community (here are some examples that I helped with: Welcome to the Autistic Community, Roadmap to Transition, HCBS Toolkit, and Accessing Home and Community-Based Services.

I’ve also worked on several online magazines, creating content, artwork, and doing basic graphic design work.
