About
Hello! I'm Jude, a narrative designer and poet. I finished my Masters of Arts from University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 2026.
Previously, I have worked as a writing consultant at the UTC library, managing editor for ContiguousLyt, and editor-in-chief for NCHC's UReCA.
Some of my work has been published in the Sequoyah Review, the Southern Literary Festival Anthology, and Objects in the Mirror: An Anthology of Legacy.

What I'm doing now
(You have heard of about pages. This is a now page).
I finished my Master's in May.
Currently, I'm working at UT Chattanooga's English Department on some research projects.
I've still been writing, mostly interactive narrative, but also poetry and essay.
Day to day, I have been keeping a wide range of interests outside of writing, from learning coding to playing MTG to reading French.
