This website is a space for my writing—both the novel I am currently developing and the larger questions that sit behind it.

I write about life as it is lived, not as it is simplified. My work explores trauma, memory, and the lasting influence of the people who shape us—especially family. Some of those influences are loving. Some are harmful. Most are complicated, existing somewhere in between, leaving marks that are not always easy to name.

At the center of my novel is a woman telling her own story, beginning in a childhood shaped by uncertainty, loss, and emotional instability. Her life is not defined by one moment, but by a series of experiences that quietly reshape how she understands safety, love, and identity.

A central thread of the story is a private, one-sided journaling relationship directed toward a teacher from her past—someone who once offered stability and care before suddenly leaving her life. Through writing, she begins to process memory, question meaning, and give language to experiences she has carried for years.

As her life unfolds, the story follows the lasting effects of her choices and the complicated impact of trust, attachment, and emotional connection. At its core is the question of what it means to be truly seen by another person—and how those moments of recognition can shape a life long after they end.

This novel is not only about one life, but about the way all lives are formed through connection—through what is given, what is withheld, and what is never fully understood until much later.

It is about how people shape us, whether they intend to or not.

And it is about what remains when we begin to see those influences clearly for the first time.
