Asked Questions.

Curious About My Work? Let’s Explore.

What kind of stories do you feel most called to write?

I’m drawn to stories about identity, memory, culture, and belonging — especially the quiet ones that explore how we make sense of ourselves and the world around us.

You can find my writing in JSTOR Daily, Inside Higher Ed, ELLE, L’Officiel USA, and on my blog. A curated selection is also available here on my portfolio page.

My academic work taught me to slow down and write with care — to think critically, but also emotionally. That mix of depth and clarity shows up in everything I write.

Yes. I occasionally work with writers on essays, personal reflections, and early drafts. I focus on giving thoughtful, honest feedback — especially for stories that explore identity or culture.

Absolutely! I’ve spoken at conferences and literary events in cities like Edinburgh, Istanbul, and Lisbon — and I’m always open to invitations for panels, talks, or workshops.
