I’m a writer, editor, and independent researcher interested in the stories people inherit, resist, and remake. I have a fairly diverse work forms that is a mixture of cultural criticism, literary essays, fiction, and long-form features. My writing both literary and fiction is informed by questions of memory, identity, belonging, and social change. With a background in literary studies and editorial practice, I enjoy drawing connections between history, culture, and everyday life, especially the quieter, more intimate ways these forces shape how we see ourselves

Outside of writing, I'm a huge fan of speculative fiction and psychological and existential horror. I'm particularly drawn to films and television that use genre to explore larger questions about identity, memory, social change, and the ways people navigate an increasingly complicated world. I’m particularly interested in Asian cultures, visual storytelling, and the emotional lives of ordinary people, the small, often overlooked details that reveal something larger.
