About Me

I’m a graduate of Emmanuel College in Boston! With a degree in English Writing and Literature. Oops…

I often freelance for Dig Boston (aka Boston’s Weekly Dig). Check out the articles I’ve written, specifically those regarding the MBTA hearings or my surprisingly popular piece on Occupy Lent.

I’ve also had creative writing pieces published.

“Crossing the River” is about a boy who wants to prove he’s as tough as his badass big brother. It was published in Issue 10 of the online journal Imitation Fruit.

“It’s Complicated” is an essay about ethnicity and perception of self and others. It was published by online journal Solstice Magazine.

“Pokémon Shuffle,” is about the Pokémon craze of the late 90’s and how it affected me and the small, Catholic grammar school I attended. It was published in Issue I, Volume III of Defunct Magazine.
