Biography

My work explores spaces between experimental form and subject representation, and has been published in NōD Magazine, filling Station Magazine, The Anti-Languorous Project, Honey Pot Literary Miscellany (Journal), and more. 

My 2024 SSHRC-funded doctoral dissertation, “Refractions: Queer History Cast Through Experimental Poetry,” navigated Calgary’s queer history through experimental poetry, exploring how atemporal crossings weave between past, present, and a poetics of queer futurity. Prior to my PhD, I studied photography at the Alberta College of Art + Design (now AUArts).
