Writer. Researcher. Teacher.

I have always been interested in how we become who we are.

My work explores how stories shape us—and how bodies, language, memory, and imagination participate in that becoming. Whether through creative writing, academic research, or public conversation, I am drawn to the deeper patterns that quietly organize a life.

For more than two decades, I have explored this question through literature, philosophy, astrology, and embodied practice. What began as separate disciplines gradually revealed themselves as different languages for listening to the same life.

I write fiction, essays, and poetry. I lecture, teach, and speak internationally on writing, authorship, embodiment, and contemporary culture. My current academic research explores transversal subjectivities, autotheory, hybrid narratives, and transmedial forms of self-recording in contemporary literature.

I am also the founder of The Body Writes, an evolving methodology that brings together writing, astrology, and embodied practice as ways of recognizing the deeper architecture of a life.
