Book Cover of Malu: hiker on a bridge in a forest in Portugal

Part travel memoir, part pilgrimage journal, this book follows my 410-mile walk from Lisbon to Santiago along the Camino de Santiago. Through hardship, humor, and unexpected connections, it explores what it means to keep moving forward.

Book Cover of Alphabet Soup

Like alphabet soup, these poems are made from familiar ingredients arranged in unexpected ways. Together, they tell a deeply personal story of life, love, loss, and what it means to be human.

Book Cover of Temporary Belongings, Two girls pinkie promise

When eighteen-year-old me moved to Barcelona during the pandemic, she discovered that the people we meet can change us as profoundly as the places we go. Temporary Belongings is a coming-of-age novel about identity, friendship, first adulthood, and learning that some people become home long before they become temporary.

Prequel to Malu.

Heartwood is a limited first edition zine of an ongoing poetry collection. Written across states, campgrounds, cafés, and open mics, these poems explore love, grief, memory, and what remains after someone becomes part of your story.
