I’m a writer whose stories and essays (about music, tic disorders, lawn signs, and lots of other trivial stuff) have appeared in The Drift, The Threepenny Review, Gulf Coast, and West Branch.

Other things I am: a 2024 Marshall Scholar, a sporadic birdwatcher, a recipient of the Copper Nickel Editors’ Prize in Prose, and an amateur translator. What I did in college: served as editor-in-chief of the Yale Literary Magazine, won the Alpheus Henry Snow Prize, and went for long walks at strange times.

I also have relevant experience taking photos that feature my hands, my phone, and my face, in decreasing order of prominence.
