I've been a writer since before I knew how to spell. ​​I have written and edited for Yahoo Lifestyle, CNET, Milwaukee Magazine, Louisville Magazine and elsewhere. You can read more of my work here.

​

I have a bachelor's degree from Marquette University in Writing Intensive English, with a thus-far useless minor in Speech Pathology & Audiology. I also earned a master's degree in fiction writing from UW-Milwaukee, where I served as an assistant fiction editor for Cream City Review and was the 2019 recipient of the Sheila Roberts Fiction Award for best graduate student short story.

 

In 2020 I won 2nd place in The Masters Review's New Voices contest. "Escape Velocity" is a story about a woman so desperate to leave her addict brother's orbit that she applies for a one-way trip to Mars.

My debut novel Hello, World!, forthcoming from Putnam, is speculative literary fiction about a group of people living within a simulation entirely optimized to their preferences, and what happens when a series of strange glitches begin to reveal the true cost of getting everything you ever wanted.
