about
I live with my partner and our toddler in Missoula as I pursue an MFA in poetry at the University of Montana.
In 2023, my poem "Thaw" was awarded an Academy of American Poets College Prize. In 2021, I received an Open Mouth Poetry Residency in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
An interview about my work is up on the Superstition Review blog here.
