Turning observations into insight.
I write about people, connections, and culture on Substack. These essays are where I make sense of the patterns I notice—in conversation, in communities, in the small moments that shape who we become.
My writing blends personal narrative with cultural observation, always searching for the story beneath the story. Whether it’s exploring why certain people feel like mirrors, how fleeting connections leave lasting impressions, or the quiet emotional tensions we carry beneath moments of joy, I write to make sense of connection, identity, and becoming.

Why I Write
“Writing is how I process the world. Every essay starts with a question I can't stop thinking about—and ends, hopefully, with a small piece of understanding I can offer to someone else.”
My Substack explores the intersection of personal experience and cultural observation. It's equal parts journal and essay collection—a place to think out loud about connection, identity, and the stories we tell.
