welcome! meow…
Please forgive me as I learn to code and therefore constantly make updates to this site. If you notice some bugs – no you didn’t!
Explore around for my blog, design and booking information as well as The Reprise – a literary and creative magazine.
Thank you for being here!
If you’re here for my shepherd’s pie recipe- SORRYYYYY! It’s still on a scrap of paper somewhere and very much alive in my brain. I will post it soon I promise <3
A secret garden where I grow my best recipes, decant my favorite reading, and hatch some of my most inane ideas.
My categorization is haphazard at best, so my recommendation is just to peek until something catches your eye! I write about anything and everything, since I hope to maintain this blog as a repository of my personal, creative, and intellectual growth.
You can see my latest posts below, or check out the whole blog through the navigation menu at the top of the page.

This publication was born out of a wish to orchestrate low barriers to entry for my friends and community to put their creations out into the world. I could not be more grateful for the opportunity and platform to do this. I thank each contributor, editor, and assistant in making this dream come true.
The spring issue is published!! Dive into Town & Country with us, as we feature writers from all over the world with their interpretations of the theme.
Submissions for our Summer 2026 are CLOSED as of May 1st. Stay tuned for publication in early June. The theme is TIDAL: on cycles, rediscoveries, and what’s left when the water goes out.
Go read the magazine now over on the magazine tab.
