Welcome home!
I am a creative professional, community storyteller, and research & strategy consultant based in Brooklyn.
See what life and work are like with me.
My life is as good as an ABBA song. It’s as good as Dancing Queen.
OK, maybe my life isn’t as good as Dancing Queen, but much like Muriel Heslop, I strive for it to be.
I am committed to shaping a world where individuals embrace their true selves and honor the authenticity of others. This reflects in my personal and professional endeavors through championing diverse perspectives, nurturing purposeful communities, and driving impactful projects.
I am a creative producer, writer, director, project manager, researcher, and event curator with over 9 years of experience in arts, marketing, nonprofit research, media, and local organizing. I honed my filmmaking craft at Boston University, graduating summa cum laude. After a brief stint in Los Angeles, I found my place in Brooklyn.
I am constantly looking for new projects to bring to life. If you are interested in working together, please reach out to me. You can also see my resume here or connect with me on LinkedIn.

SLOTH, a Queer storytelling series
Slow down and listen in.
Where do new relationships form? How often do you feel disconnected from the people around you? LGBTQ+ people report far higher levels of anxiety and loneliness, and we sought a way to bring people together in an alternative Friday night format. Thus, two avid Moth listeners spun their own community event, THE SLOTH. An open mic even with a central theme each evening, SLOTH encourages people to share authentic self-expressions through prose, poetry, song, dance, and conversational narrative. When we slow down, when we listen, when we hold space for one another, we find new bonds and new communities.
SLOTH has been running successfully since late 2022 and regularly brings in new communities and perspectives. We’ve hosted creative workshops, established an artists network with other queer collectives, and hosted events as far away at Cannon County, Tennessee.
Find more details on our Instagram @sloth.nyc and join us for our next event! Excerpts videos of performance are also available on our social accounts.

Dream Journals, a collaborative blog
Sweet dreams are made of these.
Co-founded by Tyler in 2025, Dream Journals is a new experiment to document and build community around our most mysterious experiences: dreams.
The blog is collective place to read, share, and connect on the stories, images, and experiences that guide us through our nights. Published weekly on Wednesdays, every post features a narrative, analysis, or meta-critique on our dreams.
Subscribe to us for regular shares of our community’s musings.

Nonprofit Research and Strategy
Transforming data into stories for change.
Since 2024, I have immersed myself in the nonprofit and philanthropy sector, partnering with leaders in social justice organizations like the Philanthropic Initiative for Racial Equity, Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy, and the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy. I conduct meta-analyses of industry data, lead field surveys, and distill complex information into engaging narratives that inspire action.
Be on the lookout for our research reports in Summer and Fall 2025, which will include racial equity funding trends and philanthropic responses to the second Trump Administration.

Storytelling and Creative Writing
The truth about stories is, that’s all that we are.
No, I did not come up with that — Thomas King did when writing The Truth About Stories: A Native Narrative. King's words emphasize the powerful influence of both our internal and external narratives on our lives. I carry this idea with me every day, and it's reflected in my writing and storytelling.
Below, you’ll find examples of my work in the samples section below, which include:
- oral storytelling
- podcasts
- short stories and flash fiction
- scripts for stage and screen
My past & present lives.
Work samples.
Over the years, I have built a diverse collection of art, writing, reports, and projects to showcase. You can read about some of them here.

SLOTH expanded its offerings in early 2025 to include workshops for developing new stories. Since SLOTH is meant to be space where budding creatives and people who don’t necessarily consider themselves to be “performers” can push the boundaries of their expression, it seemed essential to me to nurture that with practice and creative exercise.
Alternating every month with a workshop and an open mic event, the SLOTH SHOPs are intended to prepare storytellers for the upcoming theme, but they are also encouraged to develop any stories they want. Exercises range from solo writing, group shares, and a practice open mic.

For me, my storytelling is all about community. Since 2023, I’ve invested more in my writing journey alongside the folks at Open Book and Writing Under the Influence.
In March 2025, Open Book featured me on their successful podcast to feature some of my work and talk about what it means to be in community.

Back in 2020, I published a personal essay in Yahoo, reflecting on my own upbringing and unraveling the layers of shame that once hid my queerness. This is “Rediscovering the buried queen.” Read it here.

I produced and directed a three-part video series for Vested, highlighting aspects of the company culture. Take a look at one of these videos, highlighting the company’s sabbatical program.
During my three years at the company, I consulted on over 500 projects, ranging in scale and delivery. Click here to see a full range of my creative samples.

2020 was a record year for many reasons, but let’s not forget that it was a year of record. I coordinated the remote production of countless videos while at Verizon Media (Yahoo), but one of the best projects was a partnership with the US Census to reach young Latinx people living in the United States. We utilized top Latinx content creators to create an engaging and motivating video for Gen Z viewers, and we won a Shorty Award for our efforts.

SLOTH Storytelling has been thriving independently since 2022, but one of our most special offerings is community collaboration.
Every summer, SLOTH partners with two other queer artist collectives, Wet Spot and Open Book, to bring you tales of threes. With three performers each from three groups, we combine into a powerful of queer magic.
Ménage à Trois is a beautiful case study in how community partnerships can amplify a message, showcasing skillsets in collaboration and community curation. Come join us at our next event on June 20.
