Writing

I’ve been writing since I can remember, mostly in diaries and for private consumption. Over the years, I became more confident in expressing my thoughts to an audience. I took four creative writing courses in college – a mixture of poetry, fiction and narrative nonfiction. In 2021, my short story, “A Night in New York,” was a finalist for the Tiberius Gracchus Jones Prize for Nonfiction.

Currently, I’m a Senior Staff Writer for BRIGHT, a publishing house and creative agency based in Cambridgeshire, UK. I’ve written across its in-house magazines – including Definition, FEED, LIVE, Photography News and Cambridge Edition; these articles are available upon request.
