I write personal essays about ambition, the body, relationships, and inner life. I’m interested in the things we’re supposed to have figured out by now but haven’t: what sustains a relationship, how to live with uncertainty, why we can’t finish what we start.

It’s observation, confession, and cultural criticism—usually all at once. I write about my own life with as much honesty as I can manage, and I try to notice things other people might be feeling but haven’t found the words for yet.
