Hi, I’m Michelle.

What I write about, talk about, center my attention on:

  • Memoir and creative nonfiction (CNF)

  • Offering structure to the (seemingly) disparate memories swirling in the minds of budding CNF writers (aka: story whispering)

  • How my ancestors root themselves in my lived experience

  • Identity fragmentation felt by descendants of recent and not-so-recent immigrants

  • Food – as it relates to ancestry and fragmentation (see above). But sometimes it’s just about the food.

  • Motherhood and family

I’m a writer, editor, and aspiring memoirist.
