I’m a writer and PhD candidate in Modern Thought and Literature at Stanford University. My research and writing deal with the changing contours and textures of aesthetic experience in the contemporary. I write about a diverse range of objects, from autofiction to fan fiction; from latex sculptures to chill lo-fi beats.

My academic writing has appeared in Post45, Swamp Souths: Literary and cultural ecologies (LSU Press 2020) and A Gallery Guide to the Melancholy Museum (Cantor Arts Center 2019). I’ve also written cultural criticism and reviews for n+1, The Drift, Chicago Review, The Baffler, and the Los Angeles Review of Books, among other places.

I occasionally make music, which you can find here.
