WRITING

Most of my published writing is poetry. I was a member of the 2012 and 2014 Boston Poetry Slam at the Cantab Lounge slam teams, and a member of the National Poetry Slam Finalist 2015 Denver Mercury Poetry Slam team. In 2015, I performed in front of thousands during the 2015 National Poetry Slam Finals Stage show at the Paramount Theater in Oakland, California.
