My writing is founded on my experience writing spoken word poetry and articles for "Global Youth Voices" a platform for young writers.

My spoken and written word revolves around the nuances that hold worlds together and the tears that taunt and build waves. As a First Wave: Hip Hop and the Arts Scholar at the University of Wisconsin-Madison I performed my poetry at the “Ethics Symposium” 2015 and the “Linebreaks” festival 2016.

As stylist on the fashion team of MODA magazine Madison (editorial fashion) and ALT-Zine (street fashion), I styled and had creative direction for articles of the monthly online magazine. My articles in MODA magazine were a poetic description of the photoshoot issued-based theme I directed and styled.

As a "Global Youth Voices" writer and editor, my articles centered around my experiences in Thailand and my perspective of Thai politics from a western point of view.
