Currently, I’m a team writer for Milk Crate and a Music Journalist intern for Trill Mag!

I write for Your Magazine, covering topics from romance to living to style. I seek to investigate how moments and everyday experiences alter the ways in which we see the world!
WORK
-
-
I was the managing editor of Concrete Literary Magazine, a position in which I directed the daily operations of the magazine’s six departments and managed workflow coordination to improve the speed of editorial turnaround and production.
-
At Your Magazine, I’m the romance editor. Each issue, I curate 3 romance pieces, strengthening section consistency and editorial clarity as I mentor the drafting and revision processes of writers.
-
Starting December 2025, I’m a Music Journalist Intern for Trill Mag, where I will be continuing my passion for all things music by writing about releases, iconic artists, and curating playlists to connect audiences with music.

“Consider yourself lucky if you have a calling you can hear. Consider yourself luckier if it’s a creative calling, as there’s no greater joy than looking at art you made with your own hands. And consider yourself one of the luckiest if you have the means to pursue your passion”
