I write short fiction that explores identity, aesthetic refusal, and quiet transformations. My work moves between the intimate and the structural, drawing on questions of power, memory, and meaning-making.

Before turning toward writing, I spent several years as a management consultant in New York, helping global organizations rethink their operating models and strategies. I’m now using my experience to build Adra Lume, an evolving studio where I develop GPT-powered cultural intelligence products at the intersection of art, narrative, and strategy.

I studied at King’s College London and the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth, attended the Yale Writers’ Workshop, and trained at Sotheby’s Institute of Art. My travels across Europe, Asia, and the Americas shape the textures of my writing and the way I approach culture — as something to be moved through somatically, intellectually, and emotionally, rather than merely observed.
