About Me
Born in Hawaii and raised in New Haven, Connecticut, I have been writing as long as I can remember. With support from my family and friends, I never stopped putting words on pages.
In addition to writing, I enjoy editing, research, methodology development, working with LLMs, media creation, and data analysis. My main interest topics include social justice, climate change mediation, and developing sustainable systems.
Outside of writing and research, I enjoy a life well spent outside. You'll find me hiking, mountain biking, climbing up cliffs, or writing in my journal next to a body of water.
