Other Writing

• Weird and Wonderful - This column on the University of Michigan blog Arts, Ink. discusses films, books, video games and more that are considered unconventional. From an exploration of my top three David Lynch films to a brief analysis of the iconic manga Tomie, I used the column to bring awareness to the art that inspires me. The column in its entirety can be found here.

• Game Snippets - I participated in the Wholesome Games Jam 2022 as a writer, along with creating a brief Twine adventure for a copywriting position. Both can be found on my itch.io profile.

• “Cyberphobia” - A short story website, created using HTML5 and CSS

• Ypsilanti District Library blog and The Loop - As a communications intern for the Ypsilanti District Library, I created many blog posts and wrote articles for the quarterly newsletter The Loop. My blog posts can be found on the YDL website. Digital editions of The Loop issues I worked on — Fall 2021, Winter 2021, and Spring 2022 — are also available online.
