Finding the right words.
Before anything, I’m a poet. I appreciate the delicate work that goes into finding the right words, testing the boundaries of language, and seeing how a story can be used to bond one experience to another. From writing poems in my Moleskine when I was a teenager and learning from experienced authors in college to entering the world of spoken word poetry in my early 20s and resonating with the way that writing can alleviate pain and resurrect joy—I strongly believe that there are endless stories available at our fingertips, you just have to listen, ask the right questions, and be open to a world outside your own.
As an avid member of the Indianapolis coffee scene, what better thing than to connect my love of writing with my other love of drinking delicious coffee. In 2022, I was accepted as a contributing writer for Batch (see pgs. 78-79), a magazine produced by the Indianapolis Coffee Guide.
