Writer & MFA Candidate in Creative Nonfiction

My work explores what it means to live between cultures and to build homes in temporary places. I question what even defines a home: Is it the place we’re born, the country whose passport we carry, or the accumulated rooms and cities where we’ve learned to belong? After decades of moving across continents, I’m fascinated by how we bring home with us and what we lose each time we leave. I’m particularly drawn to narratives about childhood, trauma, and resilience, shaped by my years as a Court-Appointed Special Advocate for children in foster care and my training in trauma-informed care.
