Pure Nowhere

At 18 my grandma was driving 5 minutes North to Michigan to get drunk (a poem)

At 18 my mom was recently married children on the way / The home that she grew up is not the same as mine / The leisure they were given has never crossed my mind.

everything I wish I'd said in my college interviews

Unravel

This article is comprised of current work that I've entitled 'Unravel', which seeks to capture the intimacy of getting to know oneself in a world that views feeling good as indulgent and gaudy. Everyone should want to feel good in their skin and flaunt it.

Exclusive: The Aquadolls, Troubled Valentine

A dark, rebellious, 2000-esque punk tune, that overshadows an unrequited crush between a hopeful date, and an uninterested bore.

Paris in November

I took a trip to Paris this November, during the quiet, less tourist-y time of year. This photo series, shot on Kodak Portra 160 and 800, documents the noticed surroundings I felt as I explored Paris, a city so historic, and yet so vibrant, glowing, and ever-changing.
