i love drawing diary comics! i drew a comic every day from january 2022 through may 2023. while i no longer draw daily, i try to capture my experiences in comics as regularly as i can.

in my “day job” i am a history phd candidate at brandeis university. i study american legal history, and i’m interested in native american land claims in the 1920s.

since beginning my drawing practice, i’ve grown interested in comics as a medium and developed and taught a college course about autobiographical comics.

before becoming a grad student, i was a classroom teacher. i taught preschool for three years where i drew a lot with my community of young artists. later i found out that lynda barry considers preschool students to be her “artistic consultants.” i try to tap into a childlike drawing style with my comics, and to engage with children’s art for inspiration.
