About
I’m a novelist, short story writer, and MFA student in the Creative Writing program at The New School in New York City. In the past, I have studied English & American literature, comparative literature, history, and education at Columbia University and New York University. I write mainly in the genre of literary historical fiction, drawn to stories exploring themes of power, resistance, and social change. I also work as a history, literature, and writing tutor; write literary criticism and political journalism; and conduct historical fiction author interviews.
