little sapling, big city.

Hi there! If you’ve been following me for a while, you might recognize little sapling as my writing moniker from when I started blogging in 2018. A symbol of growth, curiosity, and tenderness, I hold onto this cherished name as I move into yet another new chapter — life after graduate school!

I received my Master’s in English from NYU in 2024 and my Bachelor’s in English and Biology from Brown in 2019. Between schooling, I worked in medicine, law, and project management. My writing experience spans biology, healthcare, legal, marketing, and of course literary and creative writing. I am particularly interested in mental health and mindfulness, Asian American identity, gender and sexuality, and tv/film/theater. My creative pursuits include acting, singing, dance, poetry, and crafting. If you’re interested in my work and past projects, you can find samples here on my website.
