Hi there!

I’m a crossword constructor based in Gainesville, Florida, where I am pursuing a master's in school counseling at the University of Florida College of Education. When I’m not working on puzzles or school, I’m likely spending time outside, playing a board game or annoying my cat.

​

I first started solving crosswords in 2017 as a junior in college. A year later, I attended my first puzzle tournament, where some very kind and talented folks inspired me to try constructing myself. It's completely captured my imagination since then.

​

Nowadays, most of the puzzles that I make appear in various print and online publications, though I still publish indie puzzles on my blog from time to time. I also make custom puzzles for weddings, birthdays, businesses, or anything else folks have in mind — if you're interested in custom work, click here!

​

Lastly, I love hosting crosswords by other constructors, especially those from underrepresented groups in the Puzzleverse. If that's you and you'd like a guest spot on this site (or you're new to constructing and want to learn more), please get in touch :)

​

Happy solving!
