I’m a journalist and fiction writer from Los Angeles. I’m a cultural economy reporter at Verite News in New Orleans, a nonprofit newsroom that seeks to elevate the voices of marginalized communities. Before starting on the cultural economy beat, I covered a wide range of local issues at Verite, ranging from city hall to health.
In May 2023, I graduated from Harvard with a joint concentration in Social Studies and the Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality. My senior thesis on a 1949 Louisiana Supreme Court Case won the Thomas T. Hoopes Prize for academic excellence. A short story I wrote in college won the Le Baron Russell Briggs Fiction Prize for best undergraduate story. While at Harvard, I edited The Crimson’s weekly magazine, Fifteen Minutes, and shared various musings for Harvard Magazine.
My short story, “Daisy the Whale,” won the 2024 PEN/Dau Prize for emerging writers and the Walter Sullivan Award for a writer in any genre. You can read the story in The Sewanee Review.
