At work on a book of creative nonfiction myth busting spiritual enlightenment (a decade+-long project). Interested in practical wisdom that doesn’t take itself too seriously, the dangers of interpretation & storytelling, and grouping personalities into categories.

Grateful graduate of the Yale Journalism Initiative, the Iowa Nonfiction Writing Program and the Clarion Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers’ Workshop.

Currently living the writerly life in Iowa City. Once upon a time, in other lives, was a science journalist in Hong Kong; a happiness researcher in Miami; a private investigator in San Francisco; and a life coach in Shanghai.

Aspire to befriend Sheila Heti and meet the reincarnation of the late, great Chinese philosopher Lin Yutang.

One day, will finally write the nerdy, unconventional romantasy of my dreams.
