Literary Writing
I am currently querying an essay collection on adoption, identity, and violence. I am a Periplus Collective 2023 fellow receiving mentorship from Nicole Chung, and in fall 2020 I was City Books’ writer in residence. My writing has been recognized as a Best of the Net 2022 finalist, and it has received nominations for the Pushcart Prize and Best American Essays. I am also a creative nonfiction editor at Sundog Lit.
