I’m an emerging writer whose essays about pregnancy and motherhood have been published in outlets including the New York Times, Slate, and the Huffington Post. I blog at Read + Roam, was a 2022 artist-in-residence at The Studios of Key West, and recently published by first chapbook, Cleave in Two, with Bottlecap Press.
