I'm a freelance ESL tutor and writer living South Korea. I've had a few poems and short stories published in various anthologies including Becoming Real by Pact Press.
I'm a lover of cats, books, Hozier, and pigeons.

Strong Alone” The world had never made it easy for Zara. From a young age, people told her she was too small, too quiet, too weak. They laughed at her ambitions, whispered behind her back, and scoffed at every dream she dared to speak aloud. “You’ll never make it,” they said. “You’re alone, and that’s how it will stay.”
