My first memory of writing something bold was passing a poem to my elementary school crush, asking if she wanted to grab pizza after class. That’s when I fell in love with writing and rejection.
Since then, I’ve helped burger brands clap back on social, made my Canadian coffee clients “feel cool,” landed a short story in The New York Times, and authored an award-winning children’s book that earned an Ezra Jack Keats Honor and was named one of the Smithsonian’s Best Books of 2024. You can check it out—and hopefully buy it—here.
