My Writing

I write about gender, recovery, and coming home to yourself. The work moves across five decades, coast to coast. It is told in fragments the way memory exists: nonlinear, layered, sometimes visual and always unfinished.

Current Project

My memoir-in-progress moves across five decades, from Midwest suburbia to Manhattan boardrooms to the Pacific coast. It explores what it means to transition, to recover, to move through the world carrying truths that remain invisible, and to finally choose visibility after a lifetime in hiding.


The narrative is structured as a hybrid memoir told in fragments, essays, and pieces of personal archive. It examines gender transition, addiction and recovery, class mobility, and what it takes to become yourself when you've spent decades performing for survival.


I'm seeking representation and am open to conversations with literary agents and publishers.

Published Work

My first published piece, Nothing to See Here, appeared in Lit Break and offers an early entry point into this work.

Substack - Where I Stand

I write weekly essays exploring change, identity, and integrity. These themes are central to my memoir and coaching work.
