The daughter of a U.S. Navy veteran, I am a Generation X, Filipino American writer, currently authoring a gothic postcolonial romantasy inspired by my Filipino heritage.

Though I am disabled and live with depression and anxiety, I am trying my best to make a life worth living. I volunteer in my community; participate in a local writing group; socialize with my family, friends, and online gaming buddies; and care for two dogs, a Chihuahua and a Morkie.
