As a child, I loved words so much that I never put my books down. Even when crossing in front of busy streets and beeping cars. I penned my first play at the ripe age of seven, which followed a torrid love affair between the two lawn gnomes in my yard. Don’t worry—they’ve since reconciled, and their relationship continues to grow stronger each day, just like my adoration for words. Now, I pour that same passion for the English language into my Communications work for Texas Freedom Network, a multi-issue progressive & advocacy organization that fights for abortion rights, LGBTQIA+ rights, truthful education, and so much more. I spend most of my free time advocating for abortion access, doing volunteer work to benefit sexual assault and domestic violence survivors, and writing plays. I earned my BFA in Playwriting from Chicago's DePaul University in 2017, where my play about our country's barriers to abortion access, Mrs. Phu’s Cleansing Juices (and also salads), was given a mainstage production. Soon after, the play received a Distinguished Achievement Award for Playwriting from The Kennedy Center. Now, I reside in Austin, TX.
