About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Take over the world with poetry.

ABOUT ME

I am a poet and essay writer originally from the suburbs of New York. Last year, I finished my poetry MFA in Texas and am currently on a poetry fellowship in California. I love riding my bike, listening to music, getting loose.

PHILOSOPHY

Human kindness is the most undervalued and most imperative of all traits.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teaching a 10 year old with Asberger's syndrome how to write and share his poems.
