MORE ABOUT ME
My favorite thing to do when I'm not writing is obsess over other stories. Plays, novels, TV shows, nonfiction essays, documentaries, films, the stories of songs or history, the way people informally tell their own stories, and how to draw out people's stories directly from the source. 

WHAT I'M WORKING ON
I just started writing a surprisingly creepy one-act and am waiting to see if my instincts tell me to lean into the creepiness or take my usual left turn into mitigating comedy!

KEYWORDS
