I am an emerging DeafBlind Brazilian-American writer with an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts. My writing explores relationships and identity through the disability and immigrant experiences. My work was shortlisted for the Masters Review Summer 2021 Short Story Award, and I received the June 2020 Deaf Artist Residency Award at the Anderson Center. My fiction is forthcoming at Witness and has appeared in Monkeybicycle, descant, The MacGuffin, the Stillhouse Press anthology In Between Spaces, and elsewhere. I live in Pittsburgh with my longtime partner and a drawer full of scarves.
