Arévalo writes fiction and has written human interest and climate journalism, public policy research and analysis, and had a previous career in policy change and implementation. Arévalo's short fiction plays with the embodiment of power and place in our deeds and shifting/shifty selves.
Arévalo’s currently working on short fiction of people in the transoms of connection and imposed denial, as they navigate shifted nations, shifted states of being, and conscription to a relentless data-mined disorder.
