I am a poet whose influences range from Paul Muldoon to Eileen Myles, Maggie Nelson to Ocean Vuong.
I competed at the College Unions Poetry Slam Invitational in 2015 and 2017 as a member of the UO Poetry Slam Team. My favorite parts of CUPSI included the annual haiku slam and Hanif Willis-Abdurraqib's reading and ice cream social event. In addition to traveling to CUPSI, I opened for poets such as Doc Luben, Phil Kaye, Anis Mojgani, and the Breakbeat Poets as a UO Poetry Slam Team member. I am also in semi-regular attendance at the Eugene Poetry Slam.
I have presented two different poetry collections at the 2017 Sigma Tau Delta English Honor Society International Convention and the 2017 Northwest Conference on Undergraduate Literature, respectively.
