Originally from small-town Ontario, Canada, I have settled in New Orleans, where I make short films, brave the swamps to go birdwatching, and teach Film Studies at Nicholls State University. I’m a Bread Loaf and Disquiet alumni and an active member of the New Orleans writing community. I have an MFA in Fiction from the University of New Orleans, where I also served as co-editor of Bayou Magazine.

I read and review books, movies, and more on TikTok and Instagram. Click the links to join the bookish party.
