Bio

In 2010 I graduated from UC Santa Cruz with a BA in Creative Writing.  I interned with the fine folks at McSweeneys, where we bottled dreams and sang softly to ourselves. I am presently employed at an independent bookstore in the Bay Area. My author interviews have appeared online at The Rumpus and Goodreads, and in print in The Believer. I also report for Patch.com, write pop culture essays for Unreality and cover the San Francisco Giants for Bleacher Report. Because I hate having time to myself, I am also working through a certification program at UC Berkeley’s extension program in copy editing.

I always drink my cocktails in threes.

When I do snare some free time, I mostly use it go on hikes, watch baseball, attend comedy shows, sneak whiskey into Woody Allen double-features at The Castro and play Nintendo64 like it’s 1997.  I also have a puppy named Scout that was once charged with felony assault for melting a man’s heart.

Scout in all her tiny magnificence.
