I am a freelance writer, editor, and translator based in Los Angeles. I use my background in linguistics to tell rich, polyphonic stories that highlight my heritage and experiences. I primarily write genre work, including science fiction, fantasy, and horror. You can view my CV for a complete list of publications and past talks.
