LITERARY EXPLORATION

I am a lifelong creative writer who has recently begun to publish my literary works.

My writing focuses on lived human experience, particularly on the edges of society. I see my work as a conduit for aesthetic expression and consciousness expansion. 

My background as a spiritual seeker, psychonaut and trance meditator--as well as my intersectional identity as non-binary, neurodiverse and POC--informs my process as a creator.  

Forthcoming

A harrowing yet ultimately redemptive tale of a hard-partying and emotionally stunted college senior's adulting misadventures circa mid-1990s Los Angeles. Purchase here.
