BIO
Biography

I am a first-generation Canadian living in Tkaronto. I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of British Columbia and an HBA from York University in Creative Writing and English. My writing has appeared in various literary magazines, including The Temz Review, The Ex-Puritan, antilang, Blue Lake Review, Coastal Shelf, Synchronized Chaos, and more. I am the founder/host of Junction Reads, a prose reading series in Toronto. I am currently querying a completed novel that touches on themes of otherness, found family, and motherhood, on submission with a few agents.

Collection of stories coming in 2026 with Guernica Editions.
