Writing
Music Criticism
Read descriptive, colorful music reviews, engage more closely with your favorite albums, or simply find new music to enjoy - you can do it all here.
Academic
Read my award-winning articles on musical meaning, gender construction, and the network of connections between the two.
Personal Essays
Op-eds, blog posts, and diary entries - this page is a catch-all for all writing that mainly concerns my personal thoughts, intimate feelings, and meaningful experiences.
I choose my words very carefully, which, as friends are quick to remind me, makes conversation with me an exercise in patience. Luckily, you can browse my collection of words at whatever speed you choose. During my time spent pursuing my Bachelor’s in Music at Elon University, I found success as a music critic, for which I won the “Best Writer” award from WSOE 89.3, and as an academic researcher, for which I won the “Outstanding Music Research” award from my department. Since then, I’ve found the written word to be a useful asset for understanding the world and its inhabitants, and hopefully helping others to do the same along the way. All my writing is available here and on my Substack!
