I’m pleased to share that my essay, “Francesca Verdad and the Superhero Unicorn,” was published today by Visible Magazine. The piece details an impromptu road trip I took with my father-in-law to rescue my parents in eastern Nevada during the pandemic.
"When it Comes" in The Racket
I’m delighted to share that my essay, “When it Comes,” has been published in The Racket. This piece feels as shiny and important as adolescence—as full of promise and dashed hopes. I hope it brings someone peace.

All The Times I Tried To
I was thrilled to discover that my essay, “All the Times I Tried To," has been published on Press Pause’s Family Room. I originally wrote this for a Racket reading event in October 2020. It feels especially good to share this today, on my 20th anniversary of living with type 1 diabetes.
Anniversaries can be hard—for years, February 10 was the one day I set aside to truly wallow in the grief that comes with adjusting to life with a chronic disease. And yet: in 20 years, I’ve acquired two degrees, lived in two countries, traveled to many more, worked multiple jobs, gotten married, run half marathons, delivered two healthy kids…life is good. I am lucky.
