Writer, Artist & Advocate
I operate at the intersection of story, systems, and landscape. Whether I am wielding a paintbrush in my Provincetown studio, analyzing forensic social work practice, advocating for disability justice or writing narrative nonfiction, my work centers on a singular question: How do the environments we inhabit (both natural and institutional) shape our experience?
Writer
As a regular contributor to The Provincetown Independent, I write on art, culture, and memory. My literary memoir-in-progress, The Parlor and the Pines, explores the "cultural whiplash" I experienced as a child, of balancing “polite society” expectations with raw wilderness survival. See more of my writing over at Substack.
Artist
Represented by the Four Eleven Gallery, my artwork explores weathered memories, place, and the textured geography of the natural world. I use visual art to capture the internal landscapes that words sometimes cannot reach.
Advocate
My scholarship, consulting and activism are rooted in anti-oppressive frameworks. I work intersectionally to dismantle systemic barriers, centering the lived experiences of the disability communities involved in various social service systems. My background in forensic social work practice allows me to bring a deeply analytical, systemic lens to human behavior, trauma, and resilience, providing expert analysis at the messy crossroads of the legal system and human vulnerability.
