I’m a writer and illustrator. My writing and illustrated pieces have appeared in The New Yorker, McSweeneys, Prism International and more. In 2023, I was nominated for a Pushcart for my short fiction piece, Another Place.

I’ve worked for over fifteen years in the field of social work, particularly with people who are struggling with trauma, addictions, and the justice system.

My graphic memoir, The Mother, is coming out in March 2025. If you like weird, honest, gory, sad, and funny all in one colourful place, order here!

I live in Montreal with my two young children and partner.
