I was born and raised in the DMV. I studied creative writing and film at Yale University. Now I work and play in the City of Angels. I’m the author of poetry and prose collection Parasocialite, a filmmaker represented by Untitled Entertainment, and the co-founder of literary reading series Car Crash Collective. I also have a background in performance art as the former creative director of Yale Children’s Theater and am currently studying themed entertainment writing as an Immersive Design Academy fellow.

Curation excites me just as much as creation. In 2024, I edited the Car Crash Collective Anthology, a collection of work on the creative and destructive potential of the car crash. Ever the word nerd, I additionally enjoy working as a freelance copyeditor; my clients include Rose Books, Clash Books, Hewes House, and Kismet Magazine.
