MY SERVICES
I’m an experienced speaker, teacher, and performer. I love sharing the craft and joy that comes from writing, zine making and self-publication, advocating for equity in the arts, accessing creativity and your own practice, and supporting marginalized artists in professional development. I’ve visited universities, non-profits, book festivals, elementary schools, and community centers, having presented my work to audiences of a handful to nearly 1,000 people, both in-person and online. I’m also a thoughtful moderator and conversation partner with an eye towards intersectionality and journalistic inquiry.
