and I’m a writer, performer, and photographer from the island of Guåhan.

I have been featured by NBC news, Poets & Writers.org, and more. I was recently awarded a fellowship with Indigenous Nations Poets and an artist grant from the Washington State Arts Commission. In 2025, I served as the opening keynote speaker at the Oregon Poetry Association’s annual conference. I am a two-time grand slam champion and won first place at the 2023 Bigfoot Regional Slam festival with my PNW team.

I have previously taught poetry and coached performance with the non-profit “Writers in the Schools,” and I specialize in portrait and performing arts photography.

My services include poetry performances, writing workshops, poem feedback, writer life coaching/mentorship, guest speaking, event hosting, portrait photography, and event photography. I’m based in the greater Portland, OR metro area and I’d love to work with you.
