About Me 

I studied for two years at New York University, and was lucky enough to be taught during that time by professors like author Zadie Smith and poet/editor Meghan O'Rourke. In January 2019, I transferred to Brown University to study in their Literary Arts department. I enrolled in an independent study with novelist Rick Moody, and completed my honors thesis in May 2020 with my advisor, writer Laird Hunt. 

​

I have years of experience in new writing, audio production, documentary filmmaking, and photojournalism. 

​

Fun facts: I used to make lip-sync videos when I was a kid. My YouTube channel called "Ilovetheoffice246" was banned after a year for violating copyright. I was stunned. During high school, I entered into local and state piano competitions around Maryland (three cheers for Beethoven!), and ran a mile in 5:01 minutes.

This website is to show the work I've done, the work I'm doing, and sway sleuthing hiring managers to, in fact, hire me.
