My art attempts to build altars, the kinds of altars that compel us to remember, to get low, to offer ourselves, and to come together, all of which are gruesome and rewarding tasks. Whether through writing, film, or design, my attention rests on family — those intimate relationships, circumstances, and narratives we're born/adopted into — and the questions of identity, inheritance, and belonging that govern our living.

I’m most interested in interrogating the self, family legacies, and place, in hopes of discovering something meaningful about God. I hold an MFA in Creative Nonfiction Writing from Columbia University’s School of the Arts and I’m currently at work on a memoir-in-essays and a Masters in Theological Studies from Fuller Seminary.

I live in Pasadena, California with my God and our plants.
