Hi there!

I’m a 26-year-old crossword constructor based in Gainesville, Florida, where I teach eighth grade math and freelance as an audio producer. When I’m not busy with those things, I’m likely spending time outside, playing a 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 work that I make appears in various print and online publications, and I don't have as much time to make puzzles as I used to (or would like to!). Regardless, I hope you enjoy the puzzles here whenever you need an extra smile.

​

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!
