I'm a doctoral candidate at the Graduate Center of The City University of New York, where I'm an advising fellow with the MS in Data Analysis & Visualization, and writing a dissertation on creative lifespans.

I recieved the Kadison Award for Service in 2023, a Dissertation Year Fellowship in 2024, and several Lost & Found Summer Research Grants over recent years. I was formerly Co-Chair for Business with the Doctoral and Graduate Students' Coucil, a digital fellow at Graduate Center Digital Initiatives, and a teaching fellow at Hunter College, CUNY.

I've previously worked in literary and public programming at Howl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project and with Bob Holman at Bowery Poetry. Prior to that I was a US-UK Fulbright Fellow while completing an MFA in Creative Writing at The New School.
