Swords or plowshares –
The right words can be either. I story-tell to distill everyday divinity – to queer the ordinary and to glorify the queer. I write, I speak, and I preach.
I’m a mother, wife, and sister, and I belong to immigrant parents. I live on Wabanaki land in a town named for its marsh grass. And I’m a queer Asian American, a Dao-curious Christian, and an evangelical escapee. I build bridges with urgency because I know that our legs are restless and our hearts are hungry.
Yes – yours, too.

About Me
I serve as the Director of Communications for an organization seeking LGBTQ justice and inclusion in The United Methodist Church, and I help to co-create imaginative sermon series for a fiercely loving, justice-seeking church in Portland, Maine.
My spiritual writing has recently appeared in Our Bible App, Justice Unbound (PCUSA), Inheritance Magazine, Geez Magazine, and at Discipleship Ministries (UMC).
My story “Honeysuckle” won the 2020 NYC Midnight Micro-Fiction Contest. My stories have been long-listed by CRAFT and shortlisted by Fractured Literary.
