About me

I am an artist, writer, activist and scholar focused on body politics. I had a decade of experience across media, international public diplomacy and government before deciding to focus on body politics. My research and writing dives into topics including (but not limited to) sex, body autonomy, female pleasure, masturbation, body hair, catcalling, "compliments," supporting loved ones after sexual assault, rape culture, rape myths, and rape. From a visual standpoint, I create work - predominantly analogue photography - that visually represents and discusses these topics. I'm interested in writing and photography opportunities, as well as freelance social media or content writing opportunities.

  Delete This NumberWe've all experienced it: a really fucking bad date. For this series, I asked friends and strangers to tell me about their worst dates ever, and created photographs to represent their experiences. 20 people, 20 terrible dates. The series and zine is meant to bring hilarity to our shared misery, and to ask people to make light of the ridiculousness of life.
