From corporate to flight attendant to founder, and finally, writer. Something I've been all along, as it turns out.
A collection of personal essays about the lives we live, the paths we take and the things we discover along the way. Written from lived experience, with reflections on identity, ambition, time and the sometimes unexpected art of living.
A forthcoming collection of poetry and personal essays exploring the passage from surviving life to fully participating in it. Not a story of becoming someone else, but of becoming available to life again — with all its possibilities, contradictions and pleasures. Support The Second Act →

/ lived experience
A life rarely follows the plot we imagined. Mine has taken me through different countries, careers and versions of myself. Those experiences have become the material for much of my writing, and a reminder that the most interesting stories aren't always the ones we planned.
/ observation
I've always been curious about people, culture and the peculiar ways we live. The small details, social contradictions, unexpected connections and stories behind things are often what interest me most. Writing is how I make sense of them, or occasionally make them more interesting.
/ Presence
For a long time, life was something I was trying to figure out. These days, I'm more interested in experiencing it. In making room for curiosity, pleasure, beauty, people and the occasional unexpected turn. Not everything needs a purpose to be worthwhile.
