Growing up on the small island of Nantucket, Massachusetts, I have immersed myself in each community I'm connected with to share the stories of individuals and provide support through a mental health lens. I've written for the Nantucket Current, a local magazine that reaches over 100,000 people, and have had work published in Edible Jersey, and Syracuse-based publications The NewsHouse, Jerk Magazine, and University Girl. As a December 2024 graduate, I plan on attending graduate school to pursue a career in clinical psychology, with aspirations to create a magazine focused on a candid conversation surrounding mental health and well-being.
