About


I'm a writer and software engineer. I studied Information Systems and Accounting at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, with a minor in Engineering, and have spent the last several years building video infrastructure at Gamechanger and writing fiction in the hours around it.

I've spent stretches of life on the road, lived for a while in a van I helped build, and kept coming back to the same handful of preoccupations: writing, developing useful software, and making art.

Writing


The Crimson Knight

Adult dark fantasy · 95,000 words · Sapphic Arthurian retelling

A novel about chains, and the women who choose to burn them. Currently out on query.

Manuscript Reader

A small tool for writers

Hear your writing read aloud in a natural voice. Free, private, no signup. I built it because I can only catch certain kinds of mistakes when the words are spoken back to me.

Travel


Full Time RV Life

2024 – 2025

My husband and I used to travel full time and work remotely from our RV. This let us see new parts of the country every weekend, save money for our future, and scope out where we may want to buy a house someday.

We made short videos of the experience — not to grow a social media base, but to share with family and friends. I'm including them here because the work of learning professional camera equipment and editing software has been a creative endeavor of its own.

The Van


Building a Tiny Home on Wheels

2020 – 2022

I learned plumbing, electricity, carpentry, mechanics, and more to build my dream off-grid vacation home. The learning, time, and work involved sure made it feel like I was in school again — so I'm going to put it on my resume like I was.
