About

I’m a second-gen Korean-American writer based in Southern California. I write fiction, essays, and poetry with a focus on relationships (usually the traumatic familial kind) and the millennial experience (usually the traumatic, well, millennial kind). Living with OCD, I write characters with—as well as from—a rich inner life, cerebral point of view, and an obsession with getting at human truths. Dark and dry humor always finds its way in my work. I graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles, and graduated with a BA in English. I currently work in marketing as a content strategist and copywriter.
