At The New School, I'm pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing, Poetry. My work has appeared in Eber & Wein Publishing’s Quilted Treasures 2024 Anthology of Select Poets and Rutgers Writers House: Poetry Volume 4, in “Snowstorms.”

At Rutgers University, I studied English Literature with a minor in Psychology and completed an honors thesis as a Paul Robeson Scholar. I also competed in lacrosse as a defense player while balancing a rigorous academic course load.

At New Wave Seafood, I prepare and serve cocktails and beverages, manage bar inventory, and help maintain a welcoming dining area. Previously, as an Academic Services Monitor at Rutgers University, I monitored student-athlete study hours and tracked distributed computers.
