I write literary, speculative, and historical fiction.

I’m a graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin; I’ve completed my MA in fiction writing and am now a Ph.D. student in eighteenth century British literature. I work as a public services intern at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center.

My fiction credits include: first prize for fiction in the Fall 2005 UT English Department writing contest; semifinalist for the Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley Award from Rosebud. My short-short “Things That Make One’s Heart Beat Faster” is now available in Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet 19.
