about me

I am a Brooklyn-based Writer, Poet, Storyteller, and Witch. My work spans genres and spaces: poetry, nonprofits, immersive theatre, health & wellness, herbalism, witchcraft, and the psychedelic. I have a decade of experience in writing facilitation and teaching, copywriting, social media, and content marketing. I am the founder of The Bardo, a writing school for Word Witches and Storytellers. You can also find me on a bi-weekly podcast I co-host called Magick & Alchemy (with over a million downloads!). I am the co-author of Wild Medicine: An Illustrated Guide to the Magick of Plants with Shelby Bundy and Tamed Wild, and am the author of a chapbook called 13 Writing Spells with LoomBound. I have an MFA from Sarah Lawrence College in Writing, am an Initiated Green Witch and have studied, Herbalism, Astrology, Energy Healing, and Green Witchcraft.
