I am a soundwriter based in Atlanta on Muscogee Creek land.

In my professional life, I write, research, curate, and produce content across platforms for the Design Leadership Council and Human Experience Lab of global architecture and design firm Perkins&Will. In project narratives and planning documents, for international competitions and history exhibits, with reels, video, and audio, I weave terms of art into stories that instruct and delight.

I am a co-creator and the producer of the Perkins&Will podcast, Inhabit.

I hold a Ph.D. in English literature from SUNY Stony Brook and an M.A. in poetry from the Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins. I am an award-winning teacher and scholar, a longtime editor for prestige publications, an art lover and audiophile, and an organizer in the ATL’s racial justice community.

I am an NYTLien.

My first true love was New York City. It’s where I learned how to navigate the chaos. Now Atlanta makes me whole: cyclist, yogi, pitty whisperer, OK cook, helpless gardener, poet, fighter, sister, friend.
