about

I am a queer, nonbinary writer and artist of color, and I live in Richmond, Virginia and teach Creative Writing at William & Mary, after teaching and living in Houston my entire life. I earned my Master of Fine Arts from the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College and my PhD in Dance from Texas Woman’s University. I am the author of the queer Asian young adult novel, Dear Twin and the adult queer biracial Asian non-binary retelling of Frankenstein, Unwieldy Creatures. I am a staff writer at Spectrum South, and Fiction co-Editor and editor of Features & Reviews at Anomaly. I am Founding Editor and Editor in Chief at just femme & dandy.

I write poetry, fiction, hybrid, and nonfiction. I dabble in photography.

I like to collaborate:

Most notably as a dance dramaturg with Dominic Walsh, choreographer and director of Dominic Walsh Dance TheaterVictor Frankenstein (as co-conceiver), and Camille Claudel (as narrative collaborator).
