Her stories derive from growing up in the Bay Area as a biracial lesbian. She has served her community as a lifeguard, Lieutenant Fire Fighter, and P.E. teacher. It is no wonder she is a fan of whistles and whistleblowers. With her background in Emergency Medical services and Education she has lots of experience applying band-aids, both literally and metaphorically. She believes that the root of many emergencies stem from unaddressed societal issues. Her desire to keep contributing to her community is what has led her to produce in these various mediums.
