I write fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in English and a graduate certificate in Gender and Women’s Studies, and I am currently working toward a master’s degree in Mexican American Studies. I also work as a library associate in Special Collections and Archives, where I help preserve our photographic and rare book collections. All opinions expressed on this blog are my own.

Chapin City Blues is a space where I share my political views, literary interests, and personal reflections. Here you’ll find commentary on current events, reviews for books, films, and music, my photography, selections of my schoolwork, and updates on writing projects that I am working on.
