Hello and welcome!


I was born in New York City, raised in San Francisco, and am currently an undergrad student at Sarah Lawrence College, studying visual arts, creative writing, and psychology. My work includes personal essays, poetry, painting, drawing, and other multimedia combinations but is all rooted in a desire to understand the self, why we are the way we are, and what makes humans function at their core. My work is also highly influenced by my biracial upbringing; exploring the dichotomies of the East and West, the feeling of belonging (or lack thereof), and the fragmented self and what that means for an individual.


I am interested in the ways art can heal, uplifting smaller artists, and bringing underrepresented voices and works into the spotlight.


This website is still very much a work in progress, more to come soon :)
