I'm a brown boy who was born and raised in a city by the sea. I matriculated at University of Texas in Austin, earning a BA in English and a Bachelors in Journalism. I also have my MFA in Poetry from Columbia University in the city of New York. My journalistic writings have appeared in UT Law Magazine, CHAOS Magazine, The Weekly Alibi, Music OMH, Corpus Christi Caller-Times and The Bend Magazine. My poems have appeared, or are forthcoming, in The Maynard, Borderlands, Juked, Feels So Good, Eunoia Review and Bacopa Literary Review. My debut novel, Laura from the Valley, is forthcoming via RIZE Press on September 12, 2023.
