Three to four times a month, I write a newsletter detailing recent life, interesting culture and travel news, and links to things I’m reading and watching. These newsletters generally live on Substack, but it felt most appropriate to share these more personal reflections here on my own website, too.

If you’d like to receive these types of life updates from me directly in your inbox, sign up for my mailing list so we can connect!
