Events
I’ve had the honor of participating in numerous readings and events in Washington State, including Seattle’s Mae West Festival and the Whatcom Museum’s Annual Sampler in Bellingham. In Canada, I presented my work at University of Victoria’s Fine Arts Festival, as well as in the Northwest Territories. Please see below for an upcoming reading that you might like to attend.
