AUTHOR STATEMENT

I approach both memoir and fiction as deliberate narrative inquiry. I am interested in how identity is formed under pressure—by silence, power, displacement, and memory.

Rather than pursuing dramatic revelation, my work focuses on form, intention, and ethical attention to language. I believe authorship can function as an act of self-definition rather than confession, and I write toward emotional truth without simplifying complexity.
