Writing

I have trained in narrative fiction at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Since graduating from my MFA in 2018, I have written across a range of genres and fields. I have experience as a journalist with a focus on the arts and culture beat, while also developing a body of work as an art critic. I am open to commissions for scripts, blog posts, features, profiles and more.
