So honored that my work has been cited in two very different books since last year. ✨

– John C. Maxwell’s High Road Leadership (2024), a book shaping leaders around the world.
– Eleanor Johnson’s Scream With Me (Simon & Schuster, 2025), exploring horror films and the rise of American feminism.

I haven't hung out here in a bit, but I have a poem published today by The Lindenwood Review that I'm especially proud of. My sincerest gratitude to the editors—this one is especially close to my heart. ❤️

Honored to share this story I was assigned by @BBC for #HispanicHeritageMonth about how Spanish fluency is now seen as an advantage in the business world. Proud to include many sources who bravely shared their stories of overcoming stigma and thriving in their new careers. bbc.in/3RIrYSh
How Spanish fluency became a competitive business advantage
As the US Latino population booms – and with it, its economic impact – Spanish is becoming an essential tool for workers and businesses alike to get ahead.

I watched "The Bear" and had some big feelings. Honored to share my first ever culture-focused essay where I write about how the show humanizes survivors of suicide loss for @HuffPost. bit.ly/3PujThl
Why 'The Bear' Is So Triggering For Many Of Us
The Hulu series offers a representation that often goes unnoticed.

That is literally the only place I would go to meet people if I were single 😂
Being a journalist on a dating app is wild y’all. Do people still just randomly meet at used book stores? Sign me up for that
