I’m a writer who lives in (and often writes about) the desert. 

I write fiction, essays, reported features, and travel guides. I am especially drawn to obscure places and the people who live in them.

My writing has appeared in The New York Times, Longreads, HuffPost, Catapult, Narratively, Joyland, and elsewhere. My work has been supported by Tin House, Bread Loaf, the Nevada Arts Council, and Sundress Academy for the Arts. In 2022, I was writer in residence for NPR’s Desert Companion Magazine. I am currently an MFA candidate in fiction at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.

Drop me a line if you want me to write for you—or if you just want to talk about Death Valley.
