My work has appeared in The New York Blade, The Washington Blade, The Manhattan Resident,Looking Queer, Feminist Alternative Press, Affinity, TWN, Hers, Offsprung.com, Jewcy.com, LiteraryMama.com, and ibelle, a very cool ‘zine that went under. 

I’ve performed stories about my life at venues throughout Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and Miami including Sit ‘n Spin at Comedy Central Stage, Porch Light at Cafe du Nord, In the Flesh at Happy Ending Lounge, Lip Service at Books & Books, and Write Out Loud Cafe at Miami Book Fair International.
 
I’m the co-producer of Lip Service, the most honest and entertaining literary event outside of New York City. Lip Service is true stories out loud and is a quarterly production of Books & Books in Miami. For submission schedules and show dates go to: http://www.lipservicestories.com 

I got a master’s degree from The George Washington University and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania and spent several years after college trying to save the world as an environmental advocate and civil rights organizer. My last real job was directing Bike Out, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of queer youth through mountain biking expeditions. 

Now, I’m a mom and because my partner had a baby, I’m also a dad.  I’m a full-time writer and an occasional adjunct professor of creative nonfiction at Florida International University.

I’m writing a novel calledCrazy Nanny; a collection of true stories calledGringa, Lesbo, Afro, Jew; and another memoir about creating a family and becoming a mom and a dad.  

I live in Miami, Florida with Victoria, Tashi, Sebastian and Beast.
