About

I contain multitudes.

This bio could go on for years. Let’s keep it short and sweet.

I’m an associate professor in the department of Business, Government, and Technical Communication at Austin Community College. The views I express here are 100% my own and do not represent the views of my employer.

I currently serve on the board of Borderlands: Texas Poetry Review. I’ve also co-edited four editions of the Texas Poetry Calendar: 2016-2018 (Dos Gatos Press) and 2020 (Kallisto Gaia Press). My writing life currently focuses on haiku. I’m the host of the forthcoming Culinary Saijiki, which launches June 21st, 2022.

I currently live in Austin, Texas with Astrid, my pit bull/terrier mix. I’m a certified Pilates instructor, and I love the way the method inspires me to keep learning and growing as a practitioner. In addition to my teaching and writing, I love quilting, cross-stitch, and hiking.
