About Me

As a research scientist, I looked for patterns in data. Now, as a writer, I look for hidden patterns in the stories we tell ourselves and others, and I ask: What was left out? What got repeated? What no longer fit but wasn’t let go—and why?

I’m currently working on a book-length project and a series of shorter essays and origin stories. I view every page as a fragment of my life.

Scottish by birth and American by choice. Now based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
