about

For the better half of a decade, I have been writing for myself and organizations like the University of Alberta’s The Gateway where I currently work as the Opinion Editor for the 2026-27 academic year. 

Though I have stretched myself through many mediums, it’s has been storytelling that ties them all together. Whether with my album Songs From Far Away (2025), my politically critical articles with The Gateway, or the countless drafts sitting in my folder — I have a passion for telling stories. 

My current work has been aimed at a new novel with the working title The Itch that is currently in the editing stages.

It’s a short article on what I’ve read or watched or wrote, or want to read or watch or write. It’s not comprehensive, it won’t be very scholarly, and it probably won’t add a lot to your life. It’s just a bunch of bull.
