About Me

Oh, are we talking about me now? If you've made it this far, you probably know that I'm a Brazilian-American writer based in Seattle, WA. Here's some stuff you might not know:

​

As a freelancer, I've provided brand development and naming, copywriting, content marketing, and editing services to businesses such as Walmart, Humane, Gusto, Vox, and many others.

​

My short stories have been published in Epiphany, Arcturus Magazine, Capsule Stories, and Alternating Current Press's The Coil, where I was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. I write literary fiction about flawed folks trying to be better for the people around them. For several years, I was the writing assistant to Pulitzer-Prize winning playwright Nilo Cruz, and still provide editing services to Mr. Cruz and other creative writers. 

I received my Master's in Fine Arts at the Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University. ​I'm the Senior Editor of The Hopkins Review and the founder/producer of The Hopkins Review Podcast. 

​

I'm also a singer-songwriter on the Shorewave Records roster, and my recordings are available on most streaming services.
