What I’m into

San Francisco. Trees. English Language Arts. Social justice, particularly decolonizing education and using storytelling in innovative and subversive ways. Maps. Mental health. Pomegranates. Green chile (yes that’s the right way to spell it). The etymology of inoculation vs. shot and the history of the English language. The Four Corners. Science Fiction. Motherhood. Sewing. Emergency management. Birds.

What I’ve just read

Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar

What I’m good at

Listening to my gut. Writing engaging pieces that dive deep into unexplored stories. Managing multiple projects. Hosting parties for my friends. Giving advice and mentoring. Pretending to be a scary-but-not-too-scary monster with a silly voice.
