Biography
I'm an award-winning writer (poetry, journalism, songs), editor, and the leader of the indie-pop group The Corner Laughers. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, I love writing about music, theater, nature, children and families, and anything else that catches my fancy. Publications include the Palo Alto Weekly, TheSixFifty.com, Metro Silicon Valley, the Mountain View Voice, Bitch Magazine, The Bing Times, Dirigible Balloon, Little Thoughts Press, Honeyguide Literary Magazine (forthcoming), Redwood City Pulse, and the Almanac. I also contribute to other musical projects, both in the studio and in live performance, including for kids and families. I'm also available to help with press releases and PR material, ghostwriting, and freelance editing projects. I have an MA in Environmental Anthropology and a BA in Anthropology (archaeology concentration) with a minor in Italian Studies and I was voted "Most likely to hug a tree" in my high-school yearbook.

Palo Alto Weekly
Embarcadero Media Foundation is a nonprofit organization and hyperlocal news publisher based in Palo Alto, California. Founded in 1979, it transitioned to a nonprofit model in November 2023, aiming to enhance community life through journalism and partnerships. The foundation publishes three weekly newspapers—Palo Alto Weekly, The Almanac, and Mountain View Voice—and operates seven digital platforms, including Palo Alto Online and Pleasanton Weekly. Its focus is on local news, events, and investigative reporting, emphasizing public-interest journalism. The foundation maintains a strict editorial policy to ensure independence from donor influence, disclosing significant contributions and prohibiting sponsors from controlling editorial content. In September 2023, its newsroom staff unionized under the Pacific Media Workers Guild. Embarcadero Media Foundation adheres to the standards set by the Institute for Nonprofit News, prioritizing accountability and public-service journalism in its operations.
