I have a fascination with place. How and why people live in place, what memories are stored in place, how our bodies move through place, and what our political relations are that create the places we come to know or abhor. I enjoy sitting in place, being in place, feeling place, wondering about place.

Throughout my academic career, the theoretical framework of care ethics has guided my wondering. With my MFA in Creative Nonfiction, I am challenging myself into new intellectual territories, trying to cross artificial boundaries, while still paying attention to the knots between care and conflict. Some of my creative writing can be read in The Rumpus, Pleiades, The Offing, Bending Genres, The Los Angeles Review, and The Sun. I am at work on a speculative nonfiction novel.
