Artist‘s Statement

Part of what it means for me to be a writer is stepping out of my comfort zoning, leaning into the unknown that exists outside the work I have perviously done. In my writing, I aim to experiment with form and genres I have not been yet been accustomed to and grow as a writer by challenging myself.
