Originally from San Antonio, Texas, I graduated from Columbia University School of the Arts with a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing (Poetry) in 2023.  A Pushcart Prize nominee, I have had my work published in over 80 literary journals and magazines.  In 2023, I won Northwestern University Press's Drinking Gourd Chapbook Poetry Prize, for which I will have a chapbook (This is My Body) out in 2025.
