FREELANCE WRITING
I’m a long-form culture writer who enjoys delving into the obscure and unknown, whether it’s a female post-Impressionist artist whom you should know about, the surprising history of Asian-American musicians, or an irreverent off-the-beaten-path adventure in Berlin.
HISTORY
I write about history, with a focus on notable women and people of color who have been relegated to the footnotes of mainstream Western history.
