I’m a poet and multidisciplinary artist based in New York. Through experimentation with video, text, and found objects, I explore form and the uncertainties that defy it. Loss, longing, and the precariousness in relationships are some themes that emerge.

My work has been presented at Untitled Art, Queens Museum, Pratt Institute, BronxArtSpace, TuTu Gallery, MITU580, Ed. Varie, AC Institute, Flushing Town Hall, Jamaica Center for the Arts and Learning, Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art, Local Project, Roman Susan, Vox Populi, Klaus Center for the Arts, Alexander Calder Fine Arts Center, Rochester Contemporary Art Center, and others.

Past residencies include the Asian American Arts Alliance, The Studios at MASS MoCA, Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in Alberta, Canada, and Transart Institute in Berlin, Germany.

I hold an MFA in Creative Writing, Poetry, from Hunter College, MA in Media Studies from The New School, and a BA in Journalism from New York University.
