Howdy! I’m Emily (she/her), a writer and educator from Portland, Oregon. I’ve been told it’s somewhat unhinged to write memoir as a “regular” person today. Maybe that’s true, but I’m not a regular person…

I’m worse.

As a teacher, I work with “the rest of us” to write meaningful poems, essays, stories (and more) about our real lives— and the world we want to bring into being.
