I do a little bit of everything. I'm a community organizer, a host, a producer — I love finding ways to help people connect and building the kinds of spaces they want to return to.
For seven years I was a senior producer at Grim & Mild Entertainment Inc. and National Geographic — finding the story in a place or a person, and making it land. Good work, real scale, and eventually: not enough soul. So I turned back toward the things that have it: places with meaning. People in hard moments. I love the kind of work you can only do in person.
I'm a trained death midwife. I cook at a hospice. I throw queer disco parties. If that sounds like your kind of person, I'd love to hear from you.

Death Work
love + support across the pan-death experience
LET'S WORK TOGETHER
I'm actively looking for full-time, place-based work in Washington, D.C. I'm at my best receiving people, tending a community, and making something real happen in a physical space. I'm drawn to hospices, retreat centers, cultural institutions, historic sites, and organizations where the daily work is about human dignity.
I also take on podcast and documentary projects in service of community work — oral history, death literacy, neighborhood storytelling. If you have a story that needs holding, let's talk.
I’m open to your invitations

Got a weird idea? I want to hear it. I’m calling in my innovators, my visionary energy, my inspired wonderers. Let’s make something together. Especially interested in death-centered projects at the moment

Things I’m dreaming about these days:
Opening a proper bathhouse in Washington, DC
Creating a brick-and-mortar dying space somewhere here, a la the Omega Home Network. I’m a big fan of what Joseph’s House here in DC is doing.
Producing living funeral parties — might you be interested?
Pleasure Activism by Adrienne Maree Brown

I haven’t stopped thinking about Statler the bat for two years
This book made me laugh out loud over so many cups of coffee
Can’t stop won’t stop making this chickpea-tomato confit stew, and it’s good every time

How to become a good future crone
Love and all the ways it might exist
Big Griefs and little griefs; grief as anti-capitalist resistance
Communal living, and how to make that a reality
How this is the best mug I’ve ever owned and my goodness what a small joy
