I am currently attending the University of Michigan ('14) for a Master of Fine Arts in Poetry, where I am the recipient of a Zell Graduate Fellowship. My poetry is centered around human interaction and landscape, both in the physical realm and the constructed. In progress are forensic body poems and a chapbook of Texas poems. I am a reader for A cappella Zoo, and my poems have recently appeared in The Sonora Review.

Recent paper topics and conference presentations include the Ghost Ranch Retreat Fall 2012 (Paper, "Poetry and Anthropology: ethnography at the intersection of fact and fiction") and Spring 2013 Conference (Paper, "Voices For The Land: Civic Poetry and New Media Activism") with the High Plains Society for Applied Anthropology.
