I am an artist, writer and educator based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Before becoming an artist, I served in the Peace Corps and worked as a journalist. As a storyteller, I've performed at The Moth, The Marsh Theater, and other venues. I'm interested in the intersection of words and pictures and how we tell our stories.
