Her writing has appeared in HuffPost, Teen Vogue, Glamour, Business Insider, and other publications. Her visual art and workshops explore storytelling, creativity, mental health, faith, and the ordinary experiences that shape our lives.

She is a two-time recipient of an Impact Fund grant from Johnson & Johnson and a Fellow in the Storyteller Track at the Center for Faith and Justice.
