Earning a B.A. in English Literature with High Distinction from the University of Toronto and an M.A. in English: Issues in Modern Culture from University College London, UK, I was always a book nerd. Today, I help books find their place in the world as a literary agent with KO Media Management.

As an agent, I acquire across three pillars: nonfiction, graphic novels & picture books for young readers, and select adult fiction in upmarket and thriller categories. I lovingly describe my list as geeky, young at heart, and queer-affirming.

My goal? Working with other creatives who want to exist in a world better than before while curating works that can create harmony and momentum. Below, you’ll find a connect button where you can share ideas and pitches for future collaborations. Please know that I only accept publishing queries through KO MM.

When not working, you can find me gaming, teaching my cat how to sit (an ongoing challenge), and exploring the world with my partner.
