I craft stories, design games, and help others do the same.
I’m an ENNIE award-winning writer, illustrator, and sensitivity reader. I work in game design, prose, comics, and zines.
I’m also the Sensitivity and Inclusion Lead and Community Manager for Adventurers League, Dungeons and Dragons’ organized play system. Before that, I worked for over a decade as a prevention educator, discussing abuse, respect, and consent in relationships and sex.
Let’s safely escape into the fanciful, mingle with misunderstood “monsters,” and emerge with insights into kindness!
Thank you for your interest!

My first comics project was with the Womanthology Anthology in 2012. I wrote “The Greatest of Ease” story, whimsically illustrated by Blue Delliquanti.
Three years later, I started writing my first D&D adventure, working with organizer and editor, Davena Oaks, and Adventurers League admin.
Shortly after I became an Adventurers League admin myself in 2019, I reviewed documents and adventures for stereotypes, tropes, misconceptions, and disrespectful language and images.
