My fiction has appeared in ZZYZZVA, Fiction Southeast, Best Small Fictions, and elsewhere. I was a Kimbilio Fiction Fellow.
For several years I was the programming director at a feminist art space in LA, where I edited Decolonizing Non-Violent Communication for Co-Conspirator Press.
I produced and hosted bitchface, an experimental audio series, with Phoebe Unter. bitchface produced the 2020 season of The Heart -- named one of the best podcasts of the year by Atlantic magazine & called “a shockingly intimate portrait of what it means to be alive in a human body” in the NYT.
I produced some stories for VICE’s Source Material. I was the senior producer of Black Mountain Radio, a community & artist driven radio program (and a Believer magazine collab). I was the story editor on the award winning first season of the Zim-Australian audio drama Private Affairs, and was a contributing story editor for Transmitter Media. I was a 2022 AIR Edit Mode Fellow.
I currently work as a story editor on The Anti Trans Hate Machine and as a researcher + development producer for The Mash Up Americans. Basket Case is a Molten Heart x iHeartRadio podcast about the sociopolitical conditions that cause mental distress. (Drops fall 2024.)
