welcome!

I'm a Brooklyn-based writer and designer. My writing generally explores the way media and culture interact with our lived experiences—for instance, the intersections of "reality" and realityrace and gender, and movements and the media that covers them. You can find my work below.

Where I Write

Least Desirable

Least Desirable is a blend of personal experiences and cultural observations that explores dating and relationships in the modern world. This blog was featured by NPR Morning Edition.

I write to reach people. Instagram is my favorite social media platform. I'm from Colorado, but Brooklyn feels like home. Pizza is my weakness.
