I’m a writer, filmmaker, photographer and gardener who grew up in Hollywood and lives in Hudson Valley, in a slowly renovating 1840s farmhouse that’s perched on the village parade route. 

I’ve recently completed Advice to Adventurous Girls, a manuscript that intertwines literary memoir and historically-based fiction, and incorporates the unpublished archive of Kansas farm girl turned world-famous motorcycle daredevil Lillian LaFrance.

I’ve been awarded Jerome Foundation grants and a fellowship at MacDowell—where this manuscript originated. 

My writing’s been published in Tin House, The Believer, McSweeney's and on National Public Radio. 

My documentary film Advice to Adventurous Girls has screened internationally in festivals and museums, including Sundance and the Guggenheim, where it shared the bill with an episode of CHiPs.
