I am a writer and researcher based in “Vancouver,” the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples. I use the pronouns they/them.
I graduated with an Honours BA in Sociology and Professional Writing & Communication from the University of Toronto in 2020. Currently, I’m an MA candidate in Sociology at Simon Fraser University, studying the creative and intellectual labour of Asian immigrants.
My latest book, We Search For God on Mars, is a poetry chapbook available from Bottlecap Press as of 2021. My debut short story collection, Prelude: & Other Stories, came out from Life Rattle Press in 2020. My prose and poetry have appeared in Plenitude Magazine, The Capilano Review, Plainsongs, Pinhole Poetry, Canthius, and filling Station, among others.
