I am a poet and writer dedicated to capturing the raw, honest, and bittersweet moments of growing up. My writing acts as both a time machine to the vibrant, primary-colored days of the early 2010s and a map through the heavy, isolating fog of adolescent anxiety and depression. Only Goes Clockwise is my debut collection. It is a deeply personal reclamation of a childhood I feared was lost forever, and a celebration of the quiet resilience it takes to rebuild broken bridges and step into the sunlight. ​When I am not writing, I am usually revisiting the nostalgic artifacts of the 2000s, looking for magic in everyday moments, and learning what it means to be completely whole. I live and create with the belief that no matter how unfixable we feel in the storm, the morning light is always on its way.
