About

 My publishing credits include Punk Planet, Clamor Magazine, Women’s Voices, the City Works Press Anthology Sunshine/Noir: Writings from San Diego and Tijuana, The Cleveland Scene, The North Bay Bohemian, Metro Silicon Valley and the Orlando Weekly.              

Aside from journalism, I write short stories starring weird girls, yearning, nature, and animal dreams from my homebase of Northern California. Writing, resistance to the status quo, and creative actions make me stoked, that is why I started Petals and Bones Writing Workshops with the illustrious Dani Burlison.

I have a BA in English Literature from University of California San Diego and an MA in Secondary Education from Western New Mexico University. In 2008, I graduated with a MFA in Writing and Consciousness from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco.   

Outside of writing and teaching, I drum for the The 50/50 ’s and play guitar and sing in another band that might or might not be called Alter Egret. The other things I like tend to start with b: Bikes, books, beer, breakfast, etc.
