I'm a neuroscientist-turned-writer who centers marginalized voices whenever I put pen to page. I care deeply about intersectional issues involving race, disability, sexuality, gender, and other systems of oppression that can act as identity markers. I write fiction, primarily fantasy, for all ages (with a focus on middle grade and adult). My nonfiction ranges from scientific journalism to creative nonfiction.

My debut novella, The Bruising of Qilwa, releases August 9, 2022, from Tachyon Publications.

I currently live on land belonging to the Numu, Wašiw, Newe, and Nuwu peoples.
