I grew up outside Washington, D.C, and have lived all over. I majored in Comparative Literature at Northwestern University, got an MA in English Literature at University College London, and most recently received an MFA in Creative Writing (Fiction) from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, where I was a 2020 University of Iowa Writers’ Room Fellow for television writing. I’m proud to be a member of the Writers Guild of America.
A bit about me:
Before getting my MFA, I spent time as a fact-checker and Reporter Researcher at The New Republic, as the Upper School Library Assistant at Sidwell Friends School, and (for one week) as a cook on a sheep farm in New Zealand. More recently, I’ve taught both undergraduate Interpretation of Literature and Fiction Writing at the University of Iowa, tutored middle grade students at 826LA, and covered sections of ninth through 12th grade English for Stanford Online High School. I’ve also worked for four years as an instructor for the Iowa Young Writers’ Studio.
Some cool things I’ve read and watched this year are Dr. No by Percival Everett, Solaris by Stanisław Lem, The Hearing Trumpet by Leonora Carrington, and the FX adaptation of Shōgun.
