About Me

I'm a published fiction writer, avid travel junkie + electronic music composer from Chicago that has lived in Portland, NYC, West Africa + Argentina. Now, I live in LA where I'm getting my PhD in Literature + Creative Writing at USC. I absolutely love it. This blog is a translation of small radiant experiences--a way to slow down time, and embrace both the redemption and the collapse of language + culture in every form.
