i am an on-the-spot typewriter poet based in slc, utah! after spending a lot of this year on the side of the street and at markets in utah writing cool and unique poems for cool and unique strangers, i have decided to move my products online for the holiday season! unironically, the magic in the air has prompted me to continue to share!

here are some things to get to know me before i get to know you!:

• i write in all lowercase. this is something i picked up early into writing poetry. although my high school engish teacher would probably hate it, there is something soothing in seeing a poem that stays consistent. having all of the words look so uniform on the page allows me to use words and format in anyway i would like.

• my dog (oakley) is my best friend!! she is a 4-year-old mini golden doodle. i have a talent of bringing her up in most of the conversations i have.

• i have a bachlor of arts degree in creative writing from weber state university. i am forever grateful for the time i spent refining my art with the best teachers and mentors there.

• i wrote a book! check it out here!

• i’m born and raised in utah, but i spent a couple of years living in oregon where i fell in love with the scenery and people and felt more creatively inspired than ever. i’m back in utah now, but oregon will forever have a piece of my heart.

• my day job is working as a barista! over the years of barista-ing, i have become near snobbish about coffee knowledge. coffee is a never-ending rabbit hole you can fall into forever. i truly love the consistent learning and growing i get to do through being a barista.

nice to meet you! i’m so happy you are here!
