For as long as I can remember, I have been writing.
I am fascinated by how people use language and in 2025 I received my MA in applied linguistics through an ethnographic study around my own family’s language and identity loss.
I am currently working on a memoir expanded from this research.
Originally from San Francisco, I write about childhood adventures with my sister in the city’s old Victorian buildings.
Current creative projects include ongoing collaborative philosophical work in applied linguistics and a podcast project focused on creativity and public scholarship.
My professional work moves between communication and real estate
What to ExpectFor as long as I can remember, I have been writing. I am fascinated by the myriad of ways in which people use language. My master’s degree in applied linguistics resulted in an ethnographic research project around my own family’s language and identity loss. I am currently working on a memoir expanded from this academic work.
Originally from San Francisco, I often write about my childhood imaginary land within the walls of an some old Victorian.
Current creative projects include ongoing collaborative work centered around the expansion of voices in linguistic research, and when I am not writing, I spend my time developing my own communication practice and story curation as founder of Sereia.
I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with my family where I am often re-reading parts of my favorite Michael Agar book, Language Shock, or listening to Turkish pop music.
