Adeline K. Piercy
Hello! I am a Digital Humanities graduate student at the University of Alberta and a sessional instructor at MacEwan University. As a storyteller, I explore narratives across various mediums, including poetry, fiction, interactive stories, and games. My work focuses on queer and feminist issues, and explores trauma, neurodivergence, and self-exploration.
When not on campus, I am scheming the demise of my loyal D&D players, overthinking my farm layout on Stardew Valley, buying books faster than I can read them, or trying to convince my cat that it’s not meal time yet.
