About me

Gender Female
Occupation Freelance Writer and Advice Columnist
Location New York, New York
Introduction I believe we're all connected. We may not physically know one another, but how can we be strangers when we're all sharing in one collective human experience? My writing is a conscious effort to illustrate this. I am passionate about documenting life in an effort to bridge the gaps between us, expose our innumerable similarities, and increase empathy for, and acceptance of, one another. United through our stories, we are all Familiar Strangers.
